Spurs reject £22million offer for Modric but bid for potential replacement (PLUS video)

Luka Modric's future was again uncertain last night, despite Chelsea having a reported £22million bid turned down.

Spurs, who would expect £30m for the Croatian star, had an approach for Werder Bremen's Marko Marin rejected.

Modric is worth much more than £22million, claims agent  

Marin, a 22-year-old attacking midfielder, who can also play as a winger, has also been targeted by ­Liverpool.

But Marin's agent, Fali Ramadani, said: "Marko rejected both teams and Werder hinted they would not sell him at this time."

Spurs are well aware that Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City can triple Modric's £40,000-a-week wages.

And the player himself has gone on record to admit he could be ready to quit Spurs this summer for a team ready to offer him Champions League football.

Confirmation of the move for Marin suggests the north Londoners are looking at ­replacements for Modric.

Marin, who cost Bremen £7.5m from Borussia Moenchengladbach in 2009, has two years left on his current deal.

Athough his club have rejected Tottenham's initial interest, Marin has admitted he would be willing to leave Bremen should they receive and offer they cannot refuse.

"If the club receives an offer and decides to sell me, that is another situation," he said. "Until then, I am happy here.

"I want to stay at Werder. I feel good at Bremen. I have never had the urge to leave. I want to be successful here, and that is my only aim."

Here's some video of Marin doing his thing:
