Harry Redknapp's believes Chelsea's capture of Valencia midfielder Juan Mata for £23.5m will end their pursuit of Luka Modric. Redknapp has admitted that the Croatian midfielder will not play against Manchester United tonight as "his head's not in the right place", following the continued efforts of Chelsea to land him but he now thinks the move is over.Since Chelsea made two unsuccessful offers for the player they have signed midfielder Mata and Redknapp hopes that will be the end of their pursuit of Modric."I would think that's the end of the Modric deal surely," he told Talksport."The chairman is away. He's said he (Modric) is not for sale, so that's where we're at with it."I think he's made up his mind he's not going to sell him, no matter what the price."Luka's got to get on with it now and hopefully have another good season for us."Daniel (Levy) said he would like to sit down with Luka in a month or so when it's all died down a bit."
