Kylian Mbappe Acquires A French Club

Kylian Mbappe has reached a significant milestone in his career with a major business move off the pitch.

This summer, the star signing for Real Madrid has become the majority owner of a professional football club at just 25 years old, acquiring a controlling stake in SM Caen.

Kylian Mbappe Buys French Club Caen

According to the 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. Mbappe 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.

Mbappe’s investment in Caen not only marks a significant business achievement but also reflects his longstanding connection and commitment to the club.
