[Saba Sports News] Caen, a French Ligue 2 team, recently announced that it has been acquired by the company owned by French football star Kylian Mbappe. It is reported that Mbappe will invest around 20 million euros in this acquisition and will also repay part of the club’s debts. Mbappe will hold an 80% stake in Caen, and his family will replace Oaktree Capital as the new majority shareholder, with Mbappe’s mother managing the family company. It is speculated that for someone like Mbappe, investing 20 million euros is not difficult, and this investment demonstrates his determination and confidence in the diversified development of football. It is worth mentioning that Caen was the club that Mbappe nearly joined at the age of 13 but eventually chose AS Monaco. With Mbappe’s acquisition of Caen, the team is expected to overcome its difficulties and achieve new development.
