Luka Modric Tottenham, Daniel Levy, president calls threatened to sit in the stands unless he accepted the position of the Spurs is not for sale.

Modrice, 25, was being offered £ 22million from London rivals Chelsea, but Levy declined the offer and insisted that Spurs did not get key man 'to leave, even though the player himself says that the attitude of a breach of contract by the two men struck last summer.

"I reminded the President of our gentlemen's agreement when we were in Dubrovnik last summer and I agreed a contract extension with Tottenham," said Croatian Modric Sportske Novosti newspaper.

"At that time it was open to talking with plate - that if a club came in with a concrete offer bigger, we interpret it, and agree the best solution for all parties.

"Now, Levy does not want to talk to me and says there is no way I can leave the Spurs threatened me. - Said that if he did not accept the position of the club, make me sit on the bench or in the stands."

Levy has met with Modric crisis last week and reported immediately after the player would stay at White Hart Lane, but the former Dinamo Zagreb man has a different view on the success of the discussions.

"Much has been published in the press conference with Levy, who gave the public an account of what has happened convoluted. I must say I am really disappointed by what Levy said to me. I do not care what I had to say . 'As soon as I have, moreover, convinced that I was right to consider moving to another club, "he said.

"I hope he will finally understand the situation and we will reach an agreement to separate and appropriately."

Modric maintains that Chelsea would be a "dream" for him.

"There is no doubt that Chelsea want me - they sent an offer for Tottenham," he added.

"I know that new Chelsea boss (André Villas-Boas), said that he wants his team to the course I'm flattered by this interest in me -. It is a club that every player's dream to unite, fight for every competition available .

"It was not an impulsive decision. - I spoke at length with my family and the people whose opinions I respect that I thought, weighed everything, and eventually decided this was the best option," he added.
