AVB tells Modric to focus on Madrid

Andre Villas-Boas has told Luka Modric to keep out of Spurs’ business and says they won’t be selling Gareth Bale.

Modric made the move from Tottenham to Real Madrid during the summer and has been vocal in the press trying to encourage the Welsh winger to also make the move.

AVB was quick to address Modric’s comments at a press conference: “I think he should focus more on his club than ours,”

“He has to worry about (Real’s) game against Atletico Madrid and about getting in to the quarter-finals of the Champions League

“Obviously Modric is aware of Gareth’s performances because of his love for Tottenham and the fact that he is very connected with him and this football club, but it’s completely impossible (for Bale to leave).

“We have to protect our assets regarding our objectives. We have to qualify for the Champions League so in order for that to happen we need players that can make the difference. We are not looking to sell.”
