Kylian Mbappe buys French club Caen
According to French publication Le Parisien, Mbappe will invest nearly €20 million (£17m/$22m) to secure the majority of shares in Caen.
The former Paris Saint-Germain superstar will share ownership with Pierre-Antoine Capton, chairman of the supervisory board, who holds the remaining shares.
He will also assume responsibility for part of the club's debts.
What record did Mbappe set after buying Caen?
As reported by Deadline Day Live, Mbappe's acquisition makes him one of the youngest owners of a professional football club in Europe at the age of 25.
Why did Mbappe buy Caen?
According to some sources via Tribuna, Mbappe's purchase of Caen is seen as a generous gesture.
In 2012, he had a verbal agreement to join Caen, but the club's relegation and financial constraints prevented the deal from materialising.
This setback led Mbappe to join Monaco, where he emerged as one of the most promising French football talents.
Mbappe's investment in Caen not only marks a significant business achievement but also reflects his longstanding connection and commitment to the club.
Mbappe reveals ambitious plans for Real Madrid
Briefly News earlier reported that Mbappe revealed his ambitious plans as a Real Madrid player during his official presentation at the Santiago Bernabeu on July 16.
In his first speech, the former AS Monaco star shared his high aspirations and determination to achieve great things with the club, concluding with the spirited chant, "Hala Madrid!"
