Aitor Karanka says that Luka Modric would "fit in" at Real Madrid.

Real Madrid assistant manager Aitor Karanka has said that Luka Modric would "fit in" at the Bernabeu.

The 26-year-old has been the subject of a transfer tug of war since the end of last season, leading the player to take absence from training.

Madrid have reportedly offered around £27m for the Croatian playmaker, a figure that figure falls well short of Spurs' asking price, which is believed to be set at around £40m.

Karanka has now fuelled speculation that Modric is on his way to the club.

"Tell me a club that wouldn't want a player like him?" said the Spaniard. "He's a very talented player who had a great European Championship.

"It's clear he would fit in at Madrid."

Modric has now returned to training.
