Luka Modric, 39, set to become new owner of Championship club in ‘extremely random’ career move

LUKA MODRIC is set to become a minority owner of Championship side Swansea. A deal has reportedly been agreed that sees the 39-year-old Real Madrid legend acquire a stake in the Welsh club. The amount of the Swans he is buying and the cost of the investment is currently unclear.

But the move will not impact his ongoing playing career and he is not ready to hang up his boots yet. The 2018 Ballon d'Or winner's Real Madrid contract expires this summer and the club are still weighing up whether to offer him a new deal. Modric is set to join Andy Coleman, Brett Cravatt, Nigel Morris and Jason Cohen as part-owners of Swansea.



The club changed hands in November after Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan sold their 74.95 per cent share to end their eight years at the helm. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY.
