Manchester United are ready to trigger the €100m (£85m) release clause in the contract of Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres, who has racked up 29 goals and 11 assists in 32 games so far this season. (Fichajes - Spain)
Real Madrid great Luka Modric is set to become a new minority owner of Swansea City. The Croatian, who turns 40 in September, is taking a non-controlling stake in the Welsh club. Modric’s purchase of the shareholding will not impact his career on the pitch, where he continues to star for Real. He is out of contract with Loc Blancos this summer but is keen to retire with Real and may extend his stay at the Bernabeu for a further year if it can be agreed. It comes as a surprise that he has decided to buy a minority stake in Swansea, who sit 12th in the Championship.
They should have a clause that he plays 1 game when he is finally retiring with the option for us to extend it to 3000 games !
