Luka Modrić, the star midfielder of Real Madrid, has become a co-owner of Swansea City. The 39-year-old Croatian has bought a minority share in the Championship club.
Modrić wants to use his football experience to help Swansea grow and succeed. He believes his knowledge of the game can make a positive impact on the club’s future.
Even with this new role, Modrić will continue playing for Real Madrid and the Croatian national team. He also plans to lead Croatia in the 2026 World Cup.
“I’m excited to be part of Swansea City,” Modrić said. “I believe in the club’s potential and want to help it reach new heights.”
Fans welcomed the news and hope Modrić’s involvement will bring fresh energy to the club. Swansea City currently plays in England’s second division and aims to return to the Premier League.
This move marks Modrić’s first step into football ownership. It shows he is already planning for life after his playing career, while still staying fully committed on the pitch.
