Luka Modric to move to SWANSEA?! Real Madrid ace told to make 'tremendous' move to Championship outfit after buying stake in club as midfielder prepares for Bernabeu exit

<p>Just over a month on from becoming a<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-luka-modric-minority-owner-championship-swansea-investment-no-plans-retire/blta3830aa59a57cd14" target="_blank"> minority owner at Swansea</a>, Modric has been told by former Madrid striker Fernando Morientes to make the switch to the Championship outfit for next season. The Spaniard said there would be so much "excitement" among fans and the 39-year-old could still probably play for a couple more years.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told <a href="https://www.casinohawks.com/" target="_blank">Casino Hawks</a>: “Luka Modric playing for Swansea would be tremendous. I'm sure there would be a lot of excitement among the fans. A player like Luka Modric, even if he's at the end of his career, would be welcome I’m sure and he would be excited for the project. </p><p>"Obviously, we shouldn't expect him to be 100% or at his best because he's at a certain age, but even when he came on against Barcelona, the feeling of Madrid in midfield changed. He probably doesn't have the level of competitive rhythm that a game like that demands, but he's so intelligent, he's so good in midfield, he has so much quality that he could continue to give a few good seasons. I think he could have a couple of good seasons in England, without a doubt and I'm convinced the excitement he would generate among the fans would be tremendous.”</p>

WHAT MORIENTES SAID

<p>This comes hot on the heels of Modric announcing he will <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/luka-modric-sends-out-heartfelt-message-real-madrid-legend-confirms-departure-from-club/blt06198d9ba3c3bc47#cs8996ed94111f17eb" target="_blank">leave Madrid this summer</a> after 13 hugely successful years at the club. The Croatian international, who will go down as a Los Blancos legend after winning a remarkable 28 trophies there, was reportedly <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-ignore-luka-modric-contract-extension-farewell-game-real-sociedad/blt534ec6e26b21ce71" target="_blank">not offered a contract extension</a>, so he may want to play on for a while yet - perhaps giving Swansea an outside chance.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Before Modric can think about his future, he will play his final La Liga game for Madrid on Sunday against Real Sociedad. He will then round off his Los Blancos spell at the Club World Cup in June.</p>
