Luka Modric’s net worth has been revealed as he becomes co-owner of Championship club Swansea City, but to the surprise of fans.

You read that right, Luka Modric is a Jack, the Ballon d’Or winner will play a key role in helping the club garner global attention and progress both on and off the pitch.

Recognised as one of the finest players of his generation, Luka’s leadership, knowledge and passion for football will be key to the club’s ongoing development.

WHAT THE CLUB SAID IN THEIR STATEMENT:

Swansea City is delighted to announce that Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modrić has joined the club as an investor and co-owner.

Luka is the most decorated player in Real Madrid history, winning six Champions Leagues, six Club World Cups, five European Super Cups, four La Liga titles, two Spanish Cups, and five Spanish Super Cups.

He has also won the The Best FIFA Men’s Player award, The Ballon d’Or, and played in the 2018 World Cup Final. He is Croatia’s most capped player of all time and, at the age of 39, has made 45 appearances for Real Madrid already this season, scoring four goals.

Luka’s investment in the club is an endorsement of the club’s ambition and vision. He will play a key role in helping the club garner global attention and progress both on and off the pitch.

LUKA MODRIC’S FIRST WORDS:

On the announcement, Luka said “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.”

WHAT DID THE BOARD AND CEO HAVE TO SAY:

Tom Gorringe, CEO said “I am excited that Luka has come on board as an investor and co-owner. There is no better role model in the game for our players, from the academy right through to the first team. His endorsement of our ambition and willingness to support us on our journey will be instrumental as we aim to continue to improve our results on and off the pitch. In our conversations, he has demonstrated his passion for the club, his knowledge of how we are performing, and a genuine passion to help us improve. I am really looking forward to working with him more closely to drive us forward.”

The Swansea City board jointly stated, “We are delighted that Luka has joined our ownership group. From our first discussions, it was clear that there was alignment on our visions and that Luka would be a real asset to our group. We’d like to thank Luka and his team for their support through this process, and we look forward to welcoming him to the Swansea.com Stadium to meet you all as soon as possible.”

The club welcomes Luka, and we look forward to an exciting time ahead.

WHAT IS MODRIC’S NET WORTH REPORTED TO BE:

Luka Modrić’s net worth is estimated at around $75 million (in the region of £56.8 million), built through his illustrious career at Real Madrid, and while his annual salary is not publicly disclosed, it’s believed to be around £7.5m per year with the La Liga giants. He earns approximately €10.4 million annually, alongside endorsement deals with brands like Nike.

He purchased a home in Madrid worth around £10.3m.

This investment with Swansea, while not impacting his current focus on performing for Real Madrid, reflects his strategic planning for the future, leveraging his experience as a six-time Champions League winner and Ballon d’Or recipient.
