Kylian Mbappe’s First Transfer: Caen Signs Yann M’Vila
Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe, after becoming the owner of Caen, has completed his first transfer. Mbappe acquired 80% of Caen’s shares, becoming the majority shareholder, and has now signed experienced midfielder Yann M’Vila, who was previously linked with Turkish clubs, on a two-year deal.
A New Era Begins at Caen
With Mbappe taking over the management of Caen, the club has added 34-year-old M’Vila to its squad. M’Vila, who has played for Sunderland in the Premier League and earned 22 caps for the French national team, last played for West Brom in the second half of the 2023-24 season. His experience is expected to bring significant value to the team.
Mbappe’s Youthful Dream
In his youth, Mbappe came close to joining Caen, but the transfer did not materialize due to the club’s threat of relegation to Ligue 2. Now, as the owner, Mbappe is taking significant steps to help Caen rise again. The club has not competed in Ligue 1 since 2019, but with Mbappe at the helm, they are entering the new season with high ambitions.
Mbappe’s Dual Focus
In the upcoming season, Mbappe will closely follow Caen’s matches and work towards the club’s success. However, having transferred from Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid, his primary focus will be on helping the Spanish giant win the Champions League.
Conclusion
Kylian Mbappe’s takeover of Caen and his first transfer mark a significant step for the club’s future. Adding an experienced player like Yann M’Vila to the squad is a crucial move in Caen’s quest to return to Ligue 1. Mbappe’s performance at both Real Madrid and Caen will be closely watched by the football world.
