Alexander-Arnold submits bid to buy Ligue 1 club

Although sources close to Liverpool have denied the claims, it’s reported that Alexander-Arnold's bid, made through a London investment firm managed by his father, is worth €100 million (£84m), with €80 million upfront and an additional €20 million later, plus potential bonuses of €40 million.

A third meeting was held in London on Thursday, where it was reported that the financial offer fell short of Kita's valuation for the club.

The Nantes owner was reportedly "furious" over the leaked news of Alexander-Arnold's interest and has since denied the claims.

Prior to focusing on Nantes, Alexander-Arnold had considered purchasing other French clubs, including AS Saint-Etienne and Le Havre, but ultimately decided to move forward with his bid for the eight-time Ligue 1 champions.

New Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappe, is on track to be one of Europe's youngest football club owners after reportedly finalising a €20 million deal for a majority stake in Ligue 2 side Caen.

At just 25, he is set to buy 80% of the club's shares, while Pierre-Antoine Capton, chairman of the supervisory board, would retain the remaining 20% stake, said to be valued at €5 million.
