Luka Modric is set to become the minority owner of a Championship club while continuing his playing career, according to a report.
Modric, 39, has been an ever-present member of Real Madrid since moving to the Bernabeu in 2012 - but his contract expires at the end of the season.
Having signed from Tottenham in the summer of that year, he has gone on to make 513 appearances for the Spanish giants, winning 28 trophies over 13 seasons.
Last month, the veteran maestro revealed he wishes to retire in Madrid.
