Harry Kane’s ‘gentleman’s agreement’ with Daniel Levy to leave Spurs could mean nothing – just ask Luka Modric
The i says to see where Harry Kane’s tactics to push through a transfer away from Tottenham Hotspur are headed, one only has to look at what happened with Luka Modric.
Sitting across a table from one another in Dubrovnik, the wonderful walled city in southern Croatia, Modric made what he considered a “gentleman’s agreement” with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy in 2010, when signing a new long-term contract, that if a bigger club made an offer for him, Spurs would accept. It was an informal chat. Nothing put in writing. No legally-binding clauses.
Twelve months later, Chelsea tested Levy’s word, bidding £22million. Levy refused. Why would he sell his star midfielder to a rival? Certainly not if he didn’t have to.
