Apparently the Modric to Madrid deal is "done deal". Just broke on the radio. Wasn't expecting that tbh

I honestly do not get this move...
Players at R.Madrid who he will be challenging spots with.. Xabi Alonso, Nuri Sahin, Lass Diarra, Sami Khedira, Altintop, Granero, Kaka, Ozil.
(This is covering both the two MC positions in a 4-2-3-1 and the AMC role, which is no doubt devoted to Mesut Ozil).
Where would he fit here? Someone tell me please. Or is it just money related.

Just broke coupe of minutes ago on Talksport-and tbf I've found it very accurate in the past
I would say he is better than Sahin, Diarra, Altintop and Granero so he wouldn't have much competition. Plus Madrid will probably get rid of at least two of the above players if they sign Modric.
Sahin is an incredibly talented player and far too good to be wasted on Real Madrid's bench, not to mention a certain Sami Khedira as well, would he really be happy with losing his first team place to Luka Modric, I highly doubt it.
If Modric moves surely Nuri Sahin and Diarra are up for grabs.

Not sure if it's been posted already, but Rory Smith of The Times has said this morning that Manchester United bid £20M for Joao Moutinho. Was rejected and they were told to bid £26M if they want him by Porto.
Money related, but also because Modders is so very versatile. He can play behind the striker, deep in a midfield two, on the wing, wherever. Also, he goes straight into a team that is guaranteed to compete on all fronts, as well as rotate regularly.
Although Modric's talent is exceptional, he still does lack assists and goals considering. I still think Real Madrid would not be the best move for him though, other clubs he would be a guaranteed starter every game. (United/Chelsea).

Certainly, but that's mostly because he plays so deep. His key assists stats are still exceptional, as are his dribbling ones.
He'll get more money at Madrid, and he'll be getting about 2/3s as many starts as he would at United or Chelsea due to his versatility and to relieve Xabi Alonso.
