Trent Alexander-Arnold is reportedly interested in acquiring FC Nantes, according to a surprising story that emerged on Friday.
L’Equipe indicates that his father, Michael Arnold, is supporting the initiative through a London-based investment firm.
The French publication also states that the proposed takeover is valued at £83.8 million, following earlier discussions with the club’s owner, Waldemar Kita, last summer.
However, Nantes has allegedly denied any talks with Liverpool’s No. 66.
Is it feasible for Alexander-Arnold to buy a Ligue 1 club?
If the French reports are correct, it seems quite possible.
Kita, who is reportedly unpopular with fans, is open to a sale, and there appears to be significant financial backing for the endeavor.
Given Alexander-Arnold’s previous investment in Alpine’s F1 team, it’s not too surprising that he is exploring this opportunity.
Nonetheless, it would be a bit unusual to view the star full-back as both a player and a club owner!
