Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric was surprisingly announced as the new minority owner at Swansea City in the championship.
The experienced playmaker enjoys his 20th season as a professional and is still a regular figure for Carlo Ancelotti’s defending European and Spanish champions. The oldest player in Real Madrid’s history managed to achieve 48 appearances in all competitions this season – more than Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham or Antonio Rudiger.
Modric has no plans to hang up his boots this summer, but has already started to plan his career after playing by investing in Swansea how Fabrizio Romano unveiled.
Romano has tried that Modric remains “completely concentrated” to expand his legendary career as a playful career, and is firmly convinced that he should extend his real Madrid contract, which is currently to expire this summer.
This is far from the first change of ownership of the season for Swansea. In November it was confirmed that the chairman of the association, Andy Coleman, had completed a majority takeover together with Brett Cravatt, Nigel Morris and Jason Cohen to end Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan’s eight years.
But the “new era”, which Coleman welcomed, only lasted four months. The US investor announced in March that he would resign as chairman for personal reasons at the end of the season. Tom Gorringe was appointed the new Chief Executive Officer of the Club (CEO) in April while Coleman keeps its shares.
The conversion owner group has repeatedly emphasized the importance of the data analysis behind its advance on the return to the Premier League and can now count on Modrics for two decades under the Europe’s elite.
Modric played twice against Swansea during the top flight campaign in 2011/12 before leaving Tottenham Hotspur for Real Madrid. The Swans won the league cup the following year, but broken off the division in 2018. In the past six years in England’s second stage, the club has lost twice in the play-offs, but there is no chance that a team that has currently escaped the championship this year has dropped a team.
