Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric has joined Swansea as an investor and co-owner, the Sky Bet Championship club have announced.
The 39-year-old Croatia captain has spent the last 13 seasons with Real Madrid and helped them win six Champions League titles after a four-year spell at Tottenham earlier in his distinguished career.
Swansea failed to disclose how much Modric, who won the Ballon d’Or in 2018, had invested but he expressed excitement at the chance to use his knowledge to help the Welsh outfit.
Modric said on the club’s website: “This is an exciting opportunity. Swansea has a strong identity, an incredible fanbase and the ambition to compete at the highest level.
“Playing at the highest level, I believe I can provide my experience to the club.
“My goal is to support the club’s growth in a positive way and to help to build an exciting future.”
