Real Madrid legend Luka Modric has become a minority owner of Swansea City, currently 12th in the Championship. At 39, the Croatian maestro has acquired a stake in the Welsh club, though the size and cost of the investment remain undisclosed.

Despite the ownership move, Modric is not retiring and will continue his playing career as his Real Madrid contract expires this summer. He joins co-owners Andy Coleman, Brett Cravatt, Nigel Morris, and Jason Cohen. Modric said he’s excited to support the club’s growth, praising Swansea’s identity and passionate fanbase. CEO Tom Gorringe welcomed Modric, calling him an inspirational figure and a valuable addition to their journey.

The club’s ownership changed hands in November, with Coleman outlining a vision to return to the Premier League sustainably. Swansea are currently managed by caretaker Alan Sheehan following Luke Williams’ dismissal. Fans expressed surprise at Modric’s unexpected move, labeling it “random” and “crazy.”
