Real Madrid duo Arbeloa and Pepe welcome Modric interest
The Tottenham midfielder has been strongly linked with a move to the
Santiago Bernabeu this summer, a transfer which the defensive duo say
they that would greet enthusiastically
The 26-year-old has been strongly linked with
a move to the La Liga champions this summer, following Spurs' failure
to secure Champions League football next term.
And former Liverpool full-back Arbeloa gave his backing to the potential addition of the Croatian playmaker to Los Blancos' squad.
He
told reporters: "Modric is a great player. I'm happy he could join Real
Madrid. We have many good midfielders, so they have to compete for a
spot."
Meanwhile, Portugal international Pepe remained coy on the links but stated: "I know he's a good player."
As Goal.com exclusively revealed on Friday, Modric is expected to be the subject of a £35 million move to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.
However,
he will face stiff competition in Jose Mourinho's squad, with the likes
of Xabi Alonso, Mesut Ozil, Sami Khedira and Lassana Diarra currently
occupying midfield berths.
The Croatia international has made 159 appearances for the north London club since joining from Dinamo Zagreb in 2008.
