Real Madrid superstar Luka Modric buys five-bedroom mansion worth over £1m in Swansea after taking minority stake in Welsh club

<p>Modric played his<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-real-sociedad-kylian-mbappe-luka-modric-carlo-ancelotti/blta43f8f6fceff741b" target="_blank"> final game for Real Madrid in the club's 2-0 win over Real Sociedad</a> on Saturday. The Croatian midfielder leaves Los Blancos as the most decorated player in the club's history as he won six Champions Leagues, six Club World Cups, five European Super Cups, four La Liga titles, two Spanish Cups, and five Spanish Super Cups.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>While Modric is leaving Madrid after the expiry of his contract, the 39-year-old is yet to announce his retirement from professional football. Last month, the Croatian star <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-luka-modric-minority-owner-championship-swansea-investment-no-plans-retire/blta3830aa59a57cd14" target="_blank">bought a minority stake in Championship side Swansea City</a> and now the player has reportedly bought a lavish five-bedroom mansion worth £1m in the Gower village of Three Crosses, according to <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35087654/real-madrid-luka-modric-swansea-city-house/" target="_blank"><em>The Sun</em></a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Modric was recently spotted looking around the property and his sudden visit became a talk of the neighbourhood. A resident in that area told <em>The Sun</em>, "We don’t host many Galacticos in Swansea so it was a bit of a surprise to see him on our doorstep. But it’s a fantastic house close to the beach and I’m sure he will enjoy exploring the Gower and the local restaurants. I doubt we have as many fancy nightclubs as they do in Madrid, but we have plenty of good pubs where he will be made to feel very welcome."</p>

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

<p>While Modric is yet to decide on his next venture, former Madrid striker <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/luka-modric-swansea-real-madrid-ace-told-move-championship-outfit-buying-stake-club-midfielder-prepares-bernabeu-exit/bltfc96f93321755550#csa9e77d9e91f00754" target="_blank">Fernando Morientes has advised him to join Swansea</a> as a member of the playing staff, and help them achieve promotion back to the Premier League having been relegated back in 2018.</p>
