In a surprising move that has sent ripples through the football world, Real Madrid and Croatia legend Luka Modric has officially become an investor and co-owner of Championship side Swansea City.
The 38-year-old midfield maestro, widely regarded as one of the greatest playmakers of his generation, has acquired a minority stake in the Welsh club, signaling his interest in football ventures beyond his illustrious playing career.
While details of the investment have not been fully disclosed, sources close to the club confirm that Modric will take on a non-operational role, focusing primarily on supporting the club’s long-term vision and development. His involvement is expected to bring global attention to Swansea, both on and off the pitch.
Modric, who won the Ballon d’Or in 2018 and has helped Real Madrid to five Champions League titles, remains an active player in La Liga. However, this business move suggests he is already laying the foundation for life after football.
Swansea City fans have greeted the news with optimism, hoping that Modric’s influence and international stature could bring fresh ambition and a new era of success to the Liberty Stadium.
Club officials released a statement welcoming Modric, expressing their excitement to have such a respected figure join the ownership group. “Luka’s footballing insight and passion for the game align with our goals for the future. We’re thrilled to welcome him to the Swansea City family.”
With Swansea currently aiming to return to the Premier League, the addition of Modric to the club’s ownership circle might just be the catalyst they need to reignite their journey to the top.
