Liverpool player Trent Alexander-Arnold has reportedly made a bid to purchase a football club in a surprising turn of events.
His contract situation at Anfield is still unclear, leading to increased speculation about his future.
However, there are developments regarding his business pursuits, with L’Equipe indicating his interest in acquiring Ligue One club Nantes. Alexander-Arnold is already a minority stakeholder in the Formula One team Alpine, part of a high-profile group that includes Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney, Anthony Joshua, and Rory McIlroy.
He aims to enter the French football scene with Nantes, who currently sit fifth in Ligue One.
Waldemar Kita, the club’s owner since 2007, has expressed frustration over various issues, including financial challenges.
Reports indicate that Alexander-Arnold’s father, Michael Arnold, oversees his business dealings through a London investment firm. Initial communication between the Arnolds and Kita occurred via video call last summer, and they have since met in Geneva and London, discussing a potential takeover estimated at €100 million.
