Chelsea are reportedly planning to better Real Madrid's offer for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Luka Modric.
The La Liga champions are said to be willing to spend £30m on the 26-year-old Croatian, who is keen on a move to Spain this summer, according to his former international teammate Mate Bilic.
However, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich wants Modric to become Frank Lampard's long-term replacement at Stamford Bridge and the Russian is preparing a £36m offer, according to The Express.
Modric made 36 Premier League starts last season, scoring four goals.
