Luka Modrić has made a major move off the pitch by becoming an “investor and co-owner” of Swansea City, the Championship football club.
The legendary Real Madrid midfielder, who has been at the heart of the Spanish side’s success for over a decade, will now take on a key role in the Welsh club’s future development alongside fellow investors Andy Coleman, Brett Cravatt, Nigel Morris, and Jason Cohen.
In an official statement, Modric expressed his excitement about the new opportunity, calling Swansea City a club with a strong identity, passionate fans, and the ambition to compete at the highest level. He said: “This is an exciting opportunity. Swansea has a strong identity, an incredible fanbase, and the ambition to compete at the highest level. Playing at the highest level, I believe I can provide my experience to the club. My goal is to support the club’s growth in a positive way and to help build an exciting future.”
Modric’s investment is expected to significantly boost the club’s profile globally. His years of experience at Real Madrid, playing in some of the most competitive leagues in the world, make him an invaluable asset for the Championship team. However, Modric isn’t stepping away from his playing career just yet. He will continue to represent Real Madrid on the pitch, despite his contract set to expire at the end of this season.
The club’s chief executive, Tom Gorringe, also spoke highly of Modric’s new role, hailing him as an ideal “role model” for the team’s players, from academy hopefuls to first-team stars. Gorringe praised the veteran midfielder’s genuine passion for improving Swansea’s performance, both on and off the field.
“He has demonstrated his passion for the club, his knowledge of how we are performing, and a genuine desire to help us improve,” said Gorringe. “There is no better role model in the game for our players. His endorsement of our ambition and willingness to support us will be instrumental as we aim to continue improving our results.”
This move has sent waves through the football world, with many fans and analysts curious to see how Modric’s involvement will impact the club. Swansea City, who have long been known for their commitment to developing young talent, now have an experienced footballing mind behind their efforts to grow the club both domestically and internationally.
Modric’s influence is expected to draw attention not just from fans of the Welsh club, but also from football fans worldwide. As a player, he’s won countless trophies with Real Madrid, including multiple Champions League titles. His ability to mentor and guide players will surely benefit Swansea’s ambitions to climb the ranks in English football.
