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.

ZURICH (AP)—FIFA executive Chuck Blazer says he has reported suspended colleague Jack Warner for allegedly breaching the terms of his exclusion from all soccer business.

Warner is provisionally suspended by FIFA while it investigates allegations he worked with former presidential candidate Mohamed bin Hammam to bribe voters.

Blazer tells The Associated Press he has reported Warner’s apparent violation to FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke.

On Tuesday, Warner called on Caribbean soccer officials to continue backing Sepp Blatter in Wednesday’s FIFA presidential election.
