France captain, Kylian Mbappe, is set to become the majority owner of second-division club, Caen, French media reported on Monday.
Mbappe, 25, who joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, will spend 20 million euros ($21.6 million) to buy an 80 per cent stake in the Normandy outfit from American investors, Oaktree, according to newspaper Le Parisien.
The 2018 World Cup winner almost joined Caen as a teenager before eventually signing for Monaco.
Caen finished in sixth place in Ligue 2 last season and their former players include Mbappe’s France teammate N’Golo Kante and ex-Les Bleus defender William Gallas.
The two-time Ligue 2 champions, established in 1913, start the new campaign by hosting Paris FC on August 17.
