Um Ji-sung, one of the players responsible for the future of Korean soccer, may be able to play for Luca Modric's team. This is because news has been announced that Modric is set to become Swansea City's co-owner, despite playing for Real Madrid as an active player.
European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on his social networking service (SNS) on the 15th (Korea time) that Modric will take his first step as a co-owner of a soccer club despite his active career in Real Madrid.
Modric, the 2018 Ballon d'Or winner and now 39, is under contract with Real Madrid until the end of this season. Modric is said to have expressed his desire to play another season for Real Madrid. It remains to be seen whether Modric will be able to play for Real Madrid in 2026.
If what reporter Fabrizio Romano said is true, Modric seems to have finished preparing for his life after retirement.
According to Romano, Luka Modric is set to become the new small co-owner of Swansea City, which belongs to the English Football League (EFL) Championship (minor league).
Just because Modric becomes the owner of the team doesn't affect his career. If the contract is renewed, he can continue to play for Real Madrid.
Swansea was relegated from the English Premier League (EPL) in 2018 after winning the Carabao Cup in 2013.
Modric's contract for participation in club ownership has been signed and the announcement as the club's new small owner appears imminent.
At this point, the connection between Modric and the current owner or the amount of investment is not known.

Swansea is one of four Welsh clubs currently affiliated with the EFL. The same Championship League has Cardiff City.
It is also famous for the team where Korean player Um Ji-sung plays. It is a team played by Ki Sung-yueng, who was a captain of the Korean national soccer team in the past.
Um Ji-sung has been playing well in the last two consecutive games, scoring offensive points. He also played full-time against Sunderland in the last league, contributing to his team's victory.
In the 2024-2025 season, Um Ji-sung has scored two goals and three assists in 36 official games. Although he has not played in many games due to ligament damage in the early and mid-season, he has been in good shape as he has played as a main player again after returning.
Swansea have suffered relegation even in the EFL Championship this season. However, Alan Sheehan managed to escape from the relegation zone by bringing good trends under Swansea's acting manager system.
Swansea City's current league standings are 12th (54 points). He is expected to stay in the second division next season.
Attention is focusing on whether Swansea City will be able to leap to the top division once again as Modric comes in as the owner of the team next season.
