Luka Modric‘s present is Real Madrid and the match against Arsenal. The Croatian wants to continue playing and his absolute priority is to do so at Real Madrid. That does not prevent Luka from looking to the future and launching plans. One is already a reality, because he has become one of the owners of Swansea. This is an agreement closed weeks ago and that the club has decided to make official now.
This is a future investment project, aimed at getting the Welsh team back to the Premier League and consolidating itself in the elite. So far, Swansea has been twice in the highest category of English soccer, in which it participates despite being a Welsh entity. And on both occasions there is a connection with Spain.
In the first, from 1981 to 1983, his coach was John Benjamin Toshack, who later made the leap to Sporting de Portugal, a step prior to his arrival at Real Sociedad. Swansea returned to the elite in 2011, to live a long stage among the best until 2018, in which a Spanish striker was a reference: Michu.
Modric’s connection to British soccer
Luka Modric has a deep relationship with British soccer. His time at Tottenham was what confirmed that Europe was facing an extraordinary player, the same one who in 2012 arrived at Madrid to become an absolute legend at the White House.
With this step, Modric advances in a field that has long interested him, with the aim of remaining linked to the world of soccer when he retires. That is something that, logically, is getting closer and closer. But the ’10’ of Madrid does not see it as something immediate. His head is still on the lawn and in increasing his impressive legacy in Madrid. And also in the Croatian national team, with which he will soon undertake the fight to be in the 2026 World Cup.
Afterwards it will be time for his project in Swansea to be the priority. The club now of the Liberty Stadium was founded on August 1, 1912 and currently plays in the Championship.
