Modric understands he will not be sold, say Tottenham

LONDON, July 6 (Reuters) - Croatia midfielder Luka Modric
understands he will not be sold at any price, Tottenham Hotspur
chairman Daniel Levy said on Wednesday after talks with the
player on his return for pre-season training. 

Modric, who signed a new six-year deal last year, was quoted
by media last month as saying he wanted to leave for Premier
League rivals Chelsea. 

"We had a very good conversation and, as I've said
previously, Luka Modric will not be sold. That's the end of it,"
Levy told Sky Sports News.  

"He's been on holiday but we've now had the conversation and
he understands our position. I'm sure once he's back with his
team mates everything will be fine. This is not about money.
We're not selling our best players."
