Luka Modric has made an unexpected career move by investing in Swansea City. The 39-year-old Ballon d'Or winner has received a minority stake in the Welsh club. The club's US-based ownership group was seeking an investor with football gravitas and global reach, and Modric fits the bill. But the reasons behind his choice of Swansea remain somewhat mysterious. While he has spoken of the club's strong identity and fanbase, there are also suggestions of past links and the potential for the deal to bring various benefits to the club. However, don't expect him to be on the field anytime soon.
