Modric Joins Madrid

After a long awaited transfer of the Croatian international Luka Modric has finally gotten his wish and joined the reigning Spanish Champions. His long awaited transfer to Real Madrid finally came to a close for 33 million Euros. He had not trained with Spurs all summer ever since the end of the Euro Cup in which Croatia ended up losing in the first round. There is a lot of hype around his transfer, because he is seen as direct competition to the German Ozil who has had little to know opposition in the last few years for the teams number 10 role. Modric will wear the number 19 on his back this season as it is one of the only numbers left in the squad.
