According to the British "Sun", Croatian legend Luca Modric is planning to buy a £1.1 million mansion in Swansea, Wales. The news has sparked heated discussions among fans and has also made many people speculate whether he will return to England football. Located in Triple Crossing Village in the Gwent Peninsula region, this villa has five bedrooms and is elegantly located near the beach. If the deal is completed, it will be another important asset in Modric after his Madrid mansion. Previously, he owned a luxury villa worth up to £10.1 million in Madrid.

A local resident said: "We rarely see top stars settle down in Swansea, so it is a surprise to hear that Modric is going to buy a house here. This is a very good house and has a good location. I believe he will like this area."

Contact with Swansea deepens

It is worth mentioning that Modric had already invested in this English Championship club a month ago and became one of its small shareholders. Now the home purchase move has further aroused speculation from the outside world - will he join Swansea as a player and start a new chapter in his career?

The British Mirror pointed out that Modric is consulting his former teammate Gareth Bale about the possibility of returning to England. Modric played for Tottenham Hotspur for many years, played 127 times for the team and scored 13 goals. He was one of the core figures of the team at that time. In the summer of 2012, he transferred from Tottenham to Real Madrid, starting his legendary career for more than ten years.

The last time Swansea appeared in the Premier League was in 2018. This season they ranked 11th in the Championship and missed the promotion to the playoffs. However, the team's management has made frequent moves recently, trying to improve the strength of the lineup by introducing experienced veterans and preparing for the future return to the top league.

On May 24, Modric just completed his last match for Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium - the final game of La Liga against Real Sociedad. After the game, all the fans stood up and applauded and paid tribute, and the scene was deeply touching.

Now, with signs of his home in England emerging, fans are beginning to look forward to the midfield master who may appear in the Swansea jersey in the new season, injecting new vitality into this historic club with rich experience and leadership.
