The club has been sold!.....<laugh>
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.
 
Swansea City can confirm the club has recalled Ollie Cooper from his loan spell at Wigan Athletic with immediate effect.

The Wales international will link up with Vitor Matos’ first-team squad, and is available for selection for Sunday's Championship fixture at Millwall.

A full Wales international, Cooper has been with the Swans since under-12 level, and made his senior debut in an FA Cup win over Stevenage in January 2021.

He enjoyed a productive loan spell with Newport the following season, and enjoyed a breakthrough 2022-23 campaign which saw him travel to the World Cup in Qatar with the Wales squad.

In total he has made 117 Swansea appearances, scoring nine goals.
