Luka Modric has not handed in an official transfer request, with Chelsea set to decide this week whether to make a third bid for the Tottenham midfielder, BBC Sport understands.
The 25-year-old has hinted he would like to join Chelsea, who have had bids of £22m and £27m rejected this summer.
Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay and manager Andre Villas-Boas will discuss whether to make a third offer or not.
But Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is adamant his club will not sell Modric.
It had been thought Modric had handed in a transfer request, but it is now understood that this is not the case and Tottenham do no expect him to do so.
