I'm very excited," Modric said.Tottenham also announced they are entering a partnership with Real Madrid.
The agreement will see the two clubs working together in respect of players, coaching and commercial relationships."Luka has been a terrific player for us and, while we preferred not to part with him, we are pleased that it is to Real Madrid, a club with which we now look forward to sharing a long and productive partnership," said Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.Modric joined Tottenham in 2008 in a £16.5m deal from Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb.He made over 150 appearances for the London club, scoring 17 goals.Real Madrid president Florentino Perez Rodriguez added: "We are delighted to welcome Luka and look forward to working closely with Tottenham in the coming years."Initially playing as a defensive midfielder under former manager Juande
