I reckon he will cost between £35m and £40m.
Luka Modric / Signs for Real Madrid

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
This. £27m still seems quite far off the going rate.
Clearly this is how much Chelsea believe he's worth. Around £30 million. They arent the only ones
We should put in £30m. They'll want more than that, but it'll show we're not fecking around like Chelsea.
Bale has never said that he'd leave if Modric did, that was just paper talk.
The problem is that you, and Levy, are not treating Modric as a player, you're making him into an icon, a symbol of where the club is.
Anyone who does this is due for a fall.
it was Harry that said that, the genius that he is
Well then I'm not the only one..
And another thing is that you haven't understood a single bit if you think this is about "making him into a icon" and your claims about "you are not treating him as a player".
Not only are you clueless and insulting you also take a moral high ground based on your own assumptions. Earlier in this thread I thought you could contribute with different opinions. I was wrong. You have one opinion and now when I see your true colors and that you so consistent slag off Daniel Levy, like he was a cheap plantage owner, give's me an indication where you come from.
I truly respect your knowledge about football, you have showed in the past that you know your stuff, but when it comes to understanding how to run the economical side of a football club you seems to lack basic knowledge.
In the end, maybe this window or next summer, Levy will probably sell Modric for a fee the club find acceptable but it will be on his conditions. And that's how it should be if you respects a legal correct contact.
Bizarre.
Wenger is probably right if they lost both players, but just losing one it wouldn't hold true.
I haven't been insulting to you once? Why does it bother you what I say about Levy? The 'slaver' jibe was firmly tongue in cheek.
As for the economical side, I haven't addressed it once in this thread, other than re the fee, so another odd comment with no real basis.
It's a fine balance. Success on the pitch, and financial responsibility.
It's no surprise Harry and Arsene coming out with statements wanting to keep their best players. They're the ones who are going to be judged on results on the field. However, it has to make economic sense.
Edit: Too many clubs have fallen into the trap of listening to their football managers and are now struggling.

Its quite evident to me.. That is definitely a come and put in a bigger bid appeal.. I am sure Spurs would rather get rid of a player that doesn't want to play for them rather than keep him at their helm.. That is my opinion on it..
Fully expecting Glaston to try and give a very logical explanation to prove how I am mis-interpreting it..
A person who claims this is a easy decision with only one outcome has probably never been in a situation like this. Even Fergie himself struggled when Rooney had his moments.
Arry's comments on SSN yesterday in his car was those of a man who knows Modric is off, only a matter of time before he joins Chelsea I'm afraid 
The only crisis there would be if he stays
I had a dream that we bought Modric and Daniel Levy.
In the psychological language of dreams, this type of "buying" is well known for symbolising homo-erotic desires.
Desires for homo-erotic threesomes are somewhat more unusual, but nothing to be unduly worried about.
Hasn't Dawson rejected this news on the Spurs OS?
What percentage of Modric's fee will Harry be getting?
Would expect Levy to turn it down. Still think Modric is going to have to pull a Berbatov, sulk and miss a couple of league games because his head's not in it, before Levy agrees to sell. Will see if Modric is willing to take it that far.
Sorry, clicked on that link, followed it to a report of Liverpool's first pre-season friendly, and within seconds I'd seen the phrase 'their was a pleasing cameo from ...' Seriously, paid to write. Give me a break. Pfffffff
Doesn't change anything really, everyone already knew he wanted to leave.
Rejected. Next?
You'd be better off pitying the suckers who've been dumb enough to bet with me ... you're more than welcome to join them.
Oh, poor Glaston.
I am not a betting man. But the bet certainly has made this thread more fun. Good on all of ya.
Guardian are carrying it as well.

so much for levy saying he understand
You lot need to realize that transfer request doesn't actually do anything.
Except it normally means that the player doesn't get a portion of the transfer fee(I think).
Aye, and it turns fans against him making Levy look good.
Yes, still means nothing as it'd virtually only guarantee a fee 5% higher than normal.
I hope he stays at Tottenham because selling Modric would be a massive backward step for the club.........but like i`ve said many times he`ll 100% leave Tottenham in the summer.
I reckon he will leave the club in the last week or even last day of the transfer window because Levy doesn't want to give Bale & Van Der Vaart too much time to consider making transfer requests of their own on the back of Modric`s departure, the fee will be higher and Tottenham had enough time to looking for replacements.
