The 3.2 billion dirham man

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is well known for colourful statements but his latest valuation of midfielder Luka Modric will certainly raise some eyebrows.

With rumours floating around that the 32-year-old Croatian is being tempted away from the Santiago Bernabéu by ambitious Inter Milan, Perez has responded by slapping a €750 million. (Dh3.2bn) price tag on his head.

CRICKET

Curran was the pick of England’s pacers on Thursday.

Virat Kohli‘s brilliant century certainly grabbed the headlines on Thursday but in all the Kohli-mania the contribution of young England seamer Sam Curran should not be forgotten.

The twenty-year-old took three wickets in eight balls at one stage on his way to figures of 74 for 4 on the day, to easily be the pick of England’s bowler.
