Incoming Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is determined to bring Luka Modric with him from Real Madrid.
The Sun says Mourinho is desperate for Modric to join him again.
Real Madrid paid Spurs £30m for the Croatian last year and a similar offer could see the 27-year-old back in England.
Mourinho sees Porto defender Eliaquim Mangala and Modric as key to his summer squad rebuilding.
