Kylian Mbappe fulfills his dream and buys his childhood football club for 15 million euros
Kylian Mbappe seems to have time for everything. The new Real Madrid signing and world superstar is about to take a different step in his career. Together with his family, the striker has closed a deal to buy Caen, a French second division team. According to several sources, he will invest around 15 million euros to acquire a majority stake in a team that has been part of his history as a player.
Mbappe already tested at Caen
A young Kylian had trials at Caen, as he did at Real Madrid and Monaco. In the end, he decided to sign for the Pincipality club and since then, everyone knows his story. The deal was made through Coalition Capital, an investment fund that manages all the investments of the Real Madrid star’s family.
This operation was launched after Pierre-Antoine Capton, current co-owner of Caen, made public the intention of looking for new partners to buy the shares of Oaktree, the American investment fund that had injected money a few years ago to Caen.
Last year Caen finished in sixth place and the ownership of the club intends to make a leap so that Caen can return to the French first division. It is with this intention that the Mbappe family has joined the club.
