 Luka Modrić is joining Swansea City as a minority owner!

The Real Madrid star and 2018 Ballon d’Or winner will become part of the Welsh club’s ownership group, with the deal now sealed. Luka Modrić, the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner and Real Madrid maestro, is set to take on a new role as a minority owner of Swansea City, a Welsh football club in the EFL Championship. The deal has been finalized, marking an exciting step for the 39-year-old Croatian star as he ventures into club ownership. Importantly, this move does not signal the end of his illustrious playing career, as Modrić remains fully dedicated to performing for Real Madrid, where he continues to be a key figure. Swansea City, currently competing in England’s second tier, have been under new ownership since last year, and Modrić’s involvement adds significant prestige to the group. His global stature and deep football knowledge could help elevate the club’s ambitions, though there’s no suggestion he plans to play for them. The Championship side, sitting mid-table, will likely see a boost in visibility from this high-profile partnership.

While some fans speculate this could hint at Swansea being Modrić’s final playing destination, that seems unlikely for now. His focus remains on Real Madrid, where he’s still delivering at an elite level. This ownership stake reflects Modrić’s growing interest in football’s business side, positioning him for a future beyond the pitch while keeping his legacy on it intact. For Swansea, it’s a chance to leverage a football icon’s influence.
