Luka Modric Joins Swansea as Co-Owner

In an exciting development for the Championship club, Swansea City has welcomed Real Madrid and Croatia star Luka Modric as a new investor and co-owner, as announced on Monday.

The 39-year-old midfielder, who has enjoyed a remarkable 13-season tenure at Real Madrid, where he contributed to six Champions League victories after his earlier stint at Tottenham, is thrilled about this new role. Although details regarding his investment amount have not been disclosed, Modric is eager to leverage his extensive experience to benefit the Welsh club competing in the second tier of English football.

“This is an exciting opportunity,” Modric shared on the club’s website. “Swansea has a strong identity, an incredible fanbase, and the ambition to compete at the highest level. I believe my experience can play a role in helping the club grow.”

As Modric embarks on this new venture, his current priority lies with Real Madrid, as they prepare for a crucial Champions League quarter-final second leg against Arsenal at home on Wednesday, after trailing 3-0 from the first leg. His contract with the Bernabeu is set to end this season.

Modric’s investment aligns with recent moves by teammates Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior, who have similarly invested in Ligue 2 club Caen and Portuguese side FC Alverca, respectively. Swansea’s chief executive, Tom Gorringe, expressed enthusiasm about having Modric on board. “There is no better role model in the game for our players, from the academy right through to the first team,” he stated.

Currently, Swansea sits in 12th place in the Championship, looking to build a bright future with their new co-owner’s guidance.
