Luka Modric 'loves' Barcelona link

Luka Modric has revealed that he is pleased to hear of speculation linking him with a move to Barcelona.

Yesterday Spain's assistant coach Paco Jimenez claimed that Barca had been scouting the Croatian playmaker during Euro 2012.

When asked about Barcelona's reported interest, the 26-year-old replied: "Of course, I love to hear things like that, but it just motivates me more to play better and show that I can be even more dangerous."

Recent reports have also linked the Tottenham Hotspur player with moves to Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.

It is believed that Spurs will demand at least £30m for Modric's signature.
