Luka Modric left Tottenham's training ground today without taking part in any exercises or training with his team mates. According to Sky Sports News he went to the canteen and sat alone having some breakfast, went to chat with a few people and then left the new state of the art football training complex in his Aston Martin.
The Croatian midfielder isn't thought to have an injury of any kind so it suggests that Spurs aren't running things as normal with the player, making him staying at the club less likely. If Andre Villas Boas thought he'd be part of the squad then there's absolutely no reason why he wouldn't have trained today.
It is not known whether his early exit was his choice or that of Tottenham Hotspur.
Modric is at the centre of transfer speculation linking him with an imminent move to Real Madrid but the La Liga club and Spurs cannot agree on a price for the player. Andre Villas Boas confirmed last night that three clubs had tabled bids for Luka Modric but that none of them were high enough and until a club met their price Modric wouldn't be going anywhere.
Him not training obviously puts a new spin on that, the club could have had an acceptable offer or alternatively Modric and/or Spurs may feel it's not best for him to be at the training ground right now.
The news has already made its way to Spain with Marca reporting that he spent less than two hours at the complex. Spanish press had said earlier today that Modric would inform Andre Villas Boas face to face that he simply didn't want to stay at Tottenham, whatever the circumstances.
