Football superstar Kylian Mbappe has acquired the majority of shares in French professional football club SM Caen.

The news was first reported by Le Parisien, marking another significant milestone in the career of the 25-year-old football star.

Mbappe, who recently became the highest earner at Real Madrid, has secured his future involvement in French football by purchasing a controlling stake in SM Caen. This acquisition makes him one of the youngest owners of a professional football club in Europe.

The French captain has reportedly paid just under €20 million for the majority shares, with Pierre-Antin Capton retaining the remaining shares valued at €5 million. SM Caen, currently competing in Ligue 2, is set to benefit from Mbappe’s high profile and investment.

SM Caen, officially Stade Malherbe Caen, is a French professional football club based in Caen, Normandy. The club was founded in 1913 and has a storied history in French football currently playing in Ligue 2.

In 2014, when Mbappé was 13, he almost signed for them before choosing Monaco.
