Why did Modric buy Swansea?

Modric has just made a bold decision in his career.

Not leaving the Bernabeu yet, but the Croatian legend has moved into a new role, a surprising move in the football world: becoming co-owner of Swansea City.

The reason behind the bold decision

At 39 years old and with a great career at Real Madrid, Modric's choice to invest in Swansea has many people pondering. But it was not a hasty decision. Swansea have been pursuing this deal for a long time, and when the official information was announced, it shocked the football world.

The Swansea ownership group, led by Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen, were looking for an investor who could have a strong and global reach. Modric, with his great achievements at Real Madrid, including six Champions League titles, was the perfect fit for the role.

In his opening remarks, Modric referred to the club’s “strong identity, fantastic fans and ambition to reach the top”. However, the question of why Swansea remains largely unanswered.

Modric is a legend of Real Madrid.

Some sources suggest that Modric may be familiar with Swansea from his years at Tottenham, when he faced the Welsh side in the Premier League. In addition, Swansea's past successes in domestic and international tournaments may also be a factor in motivating him to join the club.

Modric, who has started investing in real estate and businesses, may have seen a great opportunity to try his hand at football club ownership. With the likes of David Beckham, Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas having successfully owned teams, Modric may have felt it was time to challenge himself.

Modric's role at Swansea

Although Modric's contract with Real Madrid expires at the end of the season and he could leave after 13 years, no one expects him to join Swansea for a season. The Croatian star's move to the Welsh club this summer is unlikely.

Modric will not be directly involved in Swansea's matches, but will instead act as an advisor and bring valuable experience to the team. Swansea hope to use Modric's footballing knowledge and popularity to help the club grow further.

Modric recently bought shares in Swansea.

While the amount Modric has invested in Swansea has not been made public, his involvement is worth much more than a typical financial investment. Swansea are keen to capitalise on the global appeal of Modric, who has more than 37 million followers on Instagram.

This will help Swansea access more valuable sponsorship and advertising deals, while increasing the club's presence on the world football map.

Sources say having Modric on the co-ownership list could help Swansea attract attention from both business partners and potential players.

Even if Modric only attends from afar and is not a regular at Swansea, the event will certainly give the club a huge branding boost. Those in the current Swansea squad are said to be excited by the surprise move.

While Modric’s playing career shows no signs of slowing down, his transition from great player to investor and club owner marks an exciting new chapter in his career. And while the decision may come as a surprise, Modric will undoubtedly continue to make a significant impact in the world of football, not just on the pitch but in club departments as well.
