Kylian Mbappe, the captain of the France national team, is reportedly finalizing a deal to acquire an 80% stake in the second-division French club, Caen.
The potential acquisition of the club, estimated at 20 million euros, will see Mbappe become the majority owner of the club. This move comes after his recent free transfer from French Ligue 1 giants, Paris Saint-Germain to Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid.
Caen, based in Normandy, France was founded in 1913 and has grown to become one of the most historic clubs in the country. The club has been home to notable footballers such as N’Golo Kante and William Gallas.
Mbappe’s potential ownership adds a fascinating layer to the club’s history, especially considering that he nearly joined Caen as a teenager before ultimately signing with AS Monaco.
With the upcoming season on the horizon, there is heightened anticipation as Caen, under Mbappe’s potential ownership, prepares to face Paris FC in their first Ligue 2 match on August 17th.
This development has sparked widespread interest in the football community, and fans are eager to see how Mbappe’s involvement will impact the club’s future.
