Mbappe Acquires Majority Stake in Ligue 2 Club Caen.

Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe has finalized his takeover of Ligue 2 club Caen.

Interconnected Ventures, founded by Mbappe, has acquired a majority stake in French club Caen through its investment arm, Coalition Capital. 

Mbappe, 25, has reportedly invested around €15 million (£12.6 million) from his own funds.

Coalition Capital takes over from the previous majority shareholders, American investment fund Oaktree. Pierre-Antoine Capton, the current president of the club's supervisory board, remains a minority shareholder.

Capton praised Coalition Capital’s involvement, saying, “It’s an incredible opportunity for Stade Malherbe Caen. Their values, commitments, and vision for sport are unique assets for this project.”

Caen, which finished sixth last season, will start their Ligue 2 campaign on August 17 against Paris FC. 

Mbappe is expected to make his La Liga debut for Real Madrid against Real Mallorca the following day after his free transfer from PSG this summer.
