It's amazing news that Luca Modric is taking over a stake in Swansea City.
Reporter Fabrizio Romano said on his personal SNS on the afternoon of the 14th (Korea time) "Modric will become a minority shareholder in Swansea City. Modric will now be one of Swansea's new owners," he reported.
Modric is one of the best midfielders of the 21st century. He is very well known to Korean fans as well. Modric, who grew from Tottenham to the best central midfielder in the English Premier League (EPL), moved to Real Madrid and grew into one of the best players in the world.
He boasts such a great career that he has become a player who has won the most trophies in Real, the best club in football history. In 2018, he became a player who ended his era by winning the Ballon d'Or over Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Modric is still showing his skills while playing for Real despite his age.
Modric will turn 41 in September 2026, and he has plans to continue his career until the North-China World Cup in June 2026. It is understood that he has a will to play with Real until next season.
Modric, who will continue his active career, seems to want to work as an administrator after retirement. He has become a minority shareholder in Swansea and is in a position to express his opinion to the club. Modric became a small Swansea shareholder, but this was found to have nothing to do with his active career.
Reporter Romano "This does not affect Modric's career. He also wants to play more for Real", he explained.
Swansea is a well-known club even to Korean fans. When Ki Sung-yueng was in his prime, he played cute pass football and was nicknamed 'Swan Barcelona'. He played attractive soccer. Along with Ki Sung-yueng, he continued his reputation as a national club by winning the Football League Cup in the 2012-2013 season.
This season, we are preparing to become a national team again by recruiting winger Um Ji-sung, a former member of the South Korean national team who played for Gwangju FC. Unfortunately, however, it has been relegated to the Championship from the 2018-2019 season and has failed to advance to the Premier League (EPL) for seven seasons.

He is ranked 12th in the league again this season, making it difficult to get promoted. Swansea's future is expected to be in the spotlight again as Modric is expected to intervene in Swansea's club direction.
