Kylian Mbappe, the 25-year-old forward for France and Real Madrid, is on the verge of becoming a majority owner of a French football club. Mbappe is reportedly close to finalizing a deal to acquire an 80% stake in the second-division club Caen for around 20 million euros.
This move comes shortly after his free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid. Caen, based in Normandy and founded in 1913, has a rich history and has been home to notable players like N’Golo Kante and William Gallas. Mbappe nearly joined Caen as a teenager before signing with AS Monaco.
As Caen gears up for their first Ligue 2 match against Paris FC on August 17th, anticipation is building to see how Mbappe’s potential ownership will influence the club’s future. The football community is abuzz with excitement over this development.
