Luka Modrić, the 39-year-old Croatian midfielder and Real Madrid legend, has joined Swansea City as a minority co-owner, marking his first venture into football club ownership. He becomes part of an ownership group that includes American investors Andy Coleman, Brett Cravatt, Jason Cohen, and Nigel Morris.
Despite his new role, Modrić intends to continue his playing career with Real Madrid, where his contract is set to run through mid-2025. He also aims to captain Croatia at the 2026 World Cup. Swansea City, currently 12th in the EFL Championship, is striving to return to the Premier League after relegation in 2018. The club has faced financial challenges, reporting a pre-tax loss of £15.2 million in the latest fiscal year. Modrić’s involvement is seen as a significant endorsement of the club’s vision and aspirations.
In a statement, Modrić expressed his excitement about the opportunity, highlighting Swansea’s strong identity, passionate fanbase, and ambition to compete at the highest level. He emphasized his desire to contribute his experience to support the club’s growth and build an exciting future
