Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp believes that Chelsea's £22 million bid to sign midfielder Luka Modric is ‘ridiculous’.

Modric has been the subject of much transfer speculation all summer with both the Stamford Bridge club and Manchester United touted as possible destinations for the Croatian international.

Tottenham’s failure to qualify for the Champions League had cast doubt on whether it would be able to keep hold of its key players such as Modric and Gareth Bale.

However these claims have rubbished by the former Portsmouth manager as he looks to keep his best players with Spurs aiming to challenge for Champions League football again next season.

Redknapp told the BBC: "Luka is not for sale. If there has been a bid of £22m that is ridiculous. There are people being sold for £20m who are not fit to lace Luka's boots."

Spurs sources had earlier told Goal.com that chairman Daniel Levy has "no intention" of caving in to Chelsea owner Roman Abramovic, and is "adamant" that Modric will not be sold at any price.

Modric played a pivotal role in helping Spurs reach the quarterfinal stage of the Champions League in their debut season in the competition.

The midfielder has made 119 appearances for Harry Redknapp’s side since joining in the summer of 2008 scoring 12 times.

{ UEFA Champions - AC Milan vs Tottenham Hotspur, Gennaro Gattuso and Joe Jordan(Getty Images)Tottenham coach Joe Jordan has blasted claims by AC Milan’s Gennaro Gattuso that racist remarks fuelled their dispute at the San Siro on Tuesday night.

Gattuso claimed that the Scotsman, himself a former AC Milan player, had provoked him with racist slurs, after which the Italian international grabbed Jordan by the throat before later headbutting him.

Jordan has moved to rubbish claims, and speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: “To come up with something like that is pathetic. It is completely and utterly untrue and something so wildly inaccurate doesn't do him much credit.

“He clearly doesn't realise I consider playing for Milan the proudest time of my career, that my daughter lives and works in Italy and that I love the country and the people.”

Meanwhile, Gattuso is set to face Uefa disciplinary officials on Monday, with his club having prepared a dossier to help him avoid a long term ban.

AC Milan president Adriano Galliani said: “What Rino did was an unpleasant episode that was not good. But he has been deeply provoked and should not be criminalised.”
