🤔 Kylian Mbappe has bought a French Ligue 2 club for €20m, but why?

The Real Madrid forward paid €20m for a majority stake in Caen!

Kylian Mbappe has had a busy summer.

He finally joined Real Madrid after a years-long transfer saga that veered into tedium by its conclusion. He broke his nose as France made a run to the Euro 2024 semi-finals. He also paid €20m to become the majority shareholder in Caen.

This makes Mbappe the youngest club owner in European football with the Ligue 2 team now in the hands of the 25-year-old through his investment fund called Interconnected Ventures.

But why does Mbappe want to own a French second division club? What does he get out of this deal and what does it tell us about the future of club ownership?
