Paris Saint-Germain target Tottenham Hotspur's Croatian midfielder Luka Modric Since Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp revealed last week that his playmaking midfielder is no closer to signing a new deal, PSG have been preparing a bid for the player in the belief that the North London club will be powerless to prevent Modric from leaving White Hart Lane. Modric was openly courted by Chelsea last summer but, after having several bids rejected, Chelsea turned their attentions elsewhere. Modric has stalled on signing a new deal ever since, and it now looks increasingly likely that Modric could follow Redknapp out of the door at the end of the season if the manager, as expected, is offered the England job. Spurs valued the Croatian international at close to £40 million after Chelsea's offer of £27m was rejected last summer but big-spending PSG, managed by former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti and bankrolled by Qatari investors, could make their move at the end of the season. PSG currently lie in second place behind Montpellier in France's top flight and are keen to bolster their squad ahead of next season's Champions League campaign. Another of Ancelotti's targets is reportedly Samuel Eto'o, who became the world's highest-paid player after moving to Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala. When asked about the future of Modric at Tottenham, Redknapp told reporters: "It is up to the chairman. We were going to tie him down when Chelsea came in and the chairman was talking about getting him [a new deal], but where it is at I don't know.
