Kylian Mbappé Acquires Majority Ownership of Caen Football Club
French football superstar Kylian Mbappé has made a significant investment in the world of sports by acquiring an 80% stake in Caen Football Club, a second-division team in France. The 25-year-old forward, who recently joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain, is set to spend 20 million euros ($21.6 million) on the deal, according to French newspaper Le Parisien.
Mbappé’s connection to Caen runs deep, as he nearly joined the club as a teenager before ultimately signing for Monaco. The Normandy-based outfit finished sixth in Ligue 2 last season and boasts a rich history, having won the league title twice and produced notable players such as N’Golo Kanté and William Gallas.
The acquisition marks a new chapter for Caen, which was previously owned by American investors Oaktree. Mbappé’s involvement is expected to bring financial stability and increased visibility to the club. The two-time Ligue 2 champions will kick off their new campaign on August 17 by hosting Paris FC.
Mbappé’s investment in Caen is a testament to his commitment to the sport and his desire to make a lasting impact on French football. The move also aligns with his entrepreneurial spirit, as he has previously launched his own clothing line and invested in a gaming company.
