Recently, Swansea CEO Tom Goringic talked about Modric in an interview. He said that Modric, as one of the club's shareholders, has participated in the team's signing work.

Modric bought some shares in the Swansea club this summer, and he does not intend to be just a behind-the-scenes shareholder. Although he has joined AC Milan, he still has hope to play for Swansea at the end of his career.

Modric has contacted 23-year-old Swedish winger Zidane Inosa by phone and successfully helped Swansea sign the player. He also watched the game video and provided feedback to head coach Allen Sheehn.

Before the opening game of the Championship against Middlesbrough today, Swansea CEO Tom Goringic revealed: "Modric is considering the plan after hanging up the boots. He is interested in business, young player development, coaching and tactics, etc.."

"He has helped us from the perspective of signings and communicated with potential goals. If we are going to sign midfielders, he can call them and introduce our program. There is no better endorsement for Swansea."

Modric has been impressed by this team since he represented Tottenham in the 2011/12 season against Swansea coached by Rodgers. He appreciated their "Swansea way" which allowed them to spend seven seasons in the top league. Even in the seven years after their downgrade, they did not give up on these principles.

Goringic said: "When we met in Madrid, he told me that there is a trend now to bring in strong players, but he thinks football is played with his mind. He is a perfect role model, and given his figure and his career, it all stems from his humble background in the former Yugoslavia. He is very passionate about helping others, and it would be great if he can help us find the next Modric."

"In Spain, people have a good impression of Swansea because our style is similar to Real Madrid. He has been in Madrid for a long time and he is very physical about it. Will. He lives, feels, breathes and believes in our style of play. Even our all-white jerseys are like Real Madrid, and now he wants to help us reach a higher level. "

"Modric is a talented football player and role model who acts more than words. My first question is, can he play for us when he leaves Milan? Even at his age, he is still very good."

Modric plans to go to the training base in Swansea to meet with the players of Sheen and will communicate with the first team and youth camps through Zoom and pre-recorded videos.
