Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has warned Spurs fans to brace themselves for the departure of Luka Modric. The Croatia playmaker has been the subject of transfer speculation for the second consecutive summer, with Real Madrid reportedly his likeliest destination.

Real assistant coach Aitor Karanka recently praised the player in the Spanish press and Redknapp said yesterday: “I would not be sure Luka would start the season at Tottenham. The club would be happy to sell if they get the right money. The chairman (Daniel Levy) said to him last year ‘Give us one more season and if Real come in, I won’t stand in your way’.”
