KYLIAN MBAPPE may be in line for taking up a role in football club ownership, reports suggest.
The Frenchman has just sealed a move to Real Madrid, where it is estimated he will earn £12.8m per year deal after tax.
And while his Madrid mansion and car collection are well-known expenditures of the 25-year-old, he is now set to buy into something closer to home.
According to RMC Sport, the France captain is eyeing a deal to buy Stade Malherbe Caen.
The Normandy-based club’s co-owner Pierre-Antoine Capton, has revealed the club are looking for a new owner.
This could now come in the form of Mbappe’s family company KM7.

However, despite speaking to Mbappe’s parents, interest from giants such as Paris Saint-Germain, Lens and Monaco was also present.
And in the end, Mbappe signed for Monaco in 2013.

Before leaving the Parisiens as his contract expired, Mbappe, played 308 games and scored 256 times with a further 108 assists.
Despite missing out on Mbappe, SM Caen have a plethora of former international stars who starred for them in the past.
Chief among them is ex-Chelsea and Leicester star N’Golo Kante, who starred alongside Mbappe at Euro 2024 before Les Blues was eliminated by Spain in the semi-finals.
Thomas Lemar and Raphael Guerreiro are other prominent stars who played at the club.
Kylian Mbappe ‘snaps up £15m mansion in Beckham’s old neighbourhood’ next door to Real Madrid legend and Hollywood star
By Gerard Couzens
KYLIAN MBAPPE has reportedly splashed out more than £15million on a mansion in Madrid.
The French superstar, whose drawn-out transfer to Real Madrid has finally being confirmed, is said to have finalised the purchase late last month.
Respected Spanish daily La Razon says the house he has bought is in the exclusive Madrid suburb of La Moraleja, where David Beckham spent most of his time living when he was in the Spanish capital.
And it says his neighbours will include former Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos and his stunning model wife Pilar Rubio as well as Hollywood star Richard Gere and his Spanish publicist wife Alejandra Silva.
La Razon said Mbappe had considered the gated estate of La Finca where Jude Bellingham lives and Cristiano Ronaldo still owns property as an option.
But it reported the 25-year-old, who threw an extravagant party for 250 guests at a stylish Italian restaurant a short walk from the Eiffel Tower, ended up opting for La Moraleja a 15-minute drive from Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training complex because it was “more comfortable.”
