Superstar of Real Madrid Kylian Mbappé he has just left France, having joined Los Blancos once his contract at Paris Saint-Germain expired, but is already looking to get back into French domestic football.

Mbappe will invest just under 20 million euros to buy an 80% stake from American investment group Oaktree. Pierre Antoine Capton, the current administrative president, owns the other 20%, and part of the purchase costs of Mbappe will go to absorb the debt that the club has sports.

Ziad Hammoud, current head of Mbappe's brand image team, has been installed as the new president by Mbappe and mother Fayza Lamari. They last negotiated for Mbappe to move to Caen several years ago, but opted to go to AS Monaco instead.
