According to French media outlet Franceinfo, French soccer superstar Kylian Mbappe has acquired the Ligue 2
Caen (French town)
After taking a majority stake in the club, it is in talks with Paris Basketball Club with plans to acquire a minority stake.
Mbappe has apparently shown a keen interest in sports investment. He recently acquired an 80% stake in Caen FC through an investment fund and plans to boost the club through this investment. Now, he has his sights set on basketball, hoping to take a place in the Parisian basketball club as well.
Paris Basketball Club showed great competitiveness by winning the EuroCup basketball championship in the 2023-24 season. Mbappe has always been a fan of basketball and is often photographed watching NBA games in the United States. This investment in Paris Basketball Club, apart from demonstrating his love for basketball, also shows his strategic vision in diversifying his investments.
These investment moves by Mbappe are not only helping to increase his personal wealth, but may also have a positive impact on his career plans after he retires. By investing in different sports, Mbappe is building a sports industry landscape that spans both soccer and basketball.
