Luka Modric owns Swansea City – level 3

Luka Modric owns Swansea City

18-04-2025 07:00

Luka Modric, the captain of the Croatian national team and longtime Real Madrid midfielder, has become an investor and co-owner of Swansea City, a club currently playing in the English Championship.

Modric, who previously played for Tottenham and has spent 13 years at Real Madrid, won the Ballon d’Or in 2018 and six Champions League titles. Although the club hasn’t revealed how much he invested, Modric said he is excited to help the club grow using his football experience. Many fans are hopeful about his involvement, even if his current focus is still on playing. Since Swansea was relegated from the Premier League in 2018, the team has struggled, and some supporters believe Modric could help the club move forward again. His presence might also help attract new players.

Some think this move follows a trend of football stars investing in English clubs, like Ryan Reynolds and Tom Brady. They believe Modric’s football knowledge and reputation could benefit Swansea in the long term.

Difficult words: involvement (taking part in something), relegated (transferred to a lower division of a league), reputation (what people think about someone’s character or ability).

How might Modric’s past successes—including his time with Tottenham and Real Madrid, his Ballon d’Or win, and his six Champions League titles—be an asset for a club struggling since its 2018 relegation, and in what ways might his involvement influence the team’s future growth?
