“Kylian Mbappe Ventures into Business, Set to Become Owner of New Club”

France captain Kylian Mbappe is set to become the majority owner of second-division club Caen, according to French media reports on Monday. Mbappe, who recently joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain, will invest 20 million euros ($21.6 million) to acquire an 80 percent stake in the Normandy-based club from American investors Oaktree, as reported by Le Parisien.

The 2018 World Cup winner had nearly joined Caen as a teenager before moving to Monaco. Caen, which finished sixth in Ligue 2 last season, boasts former players such as Mbappe’s France teammate N’Golo Kante and ex-France defender William Gallas.
