Trent Alexander-Arnold makes €100m bid to buy top European club

Liverpool icon Trent Alexander-Arnold is really turning up in the world, and soon, could be turning up in the business world.

The Right-Back is reportedly making waves off the pitch with a reported €100 million bid to take over Ligue 1 side Nantes, signaling his growing ambition to build a legacy in football beyond playing.

Known for his sharp footballing mind on the field, the right-back is now looking to expand his influence into club ownership, potentially joining the ranks of superstar players-turned-owners like Kylian Mbappe.

According to reports, Alexander-Arnold’s father, Michael, who manages his son’s business ventures, has been in talks with current Nantes owner Waldemar Kita since last summer, with meetings in Geneva and London setting the stage for a potential takeover.

If successful, Trent Alexander-Arnold would make history as one of the youngest football owners in the world, a massive leap for the 25-year-old who already holds a stake in F1’s Alpine team.

However, with Nantes denying any official discussions, the deal still hangs in the balance, and challenges remain in securing a financial package that satisfies Kita’s losses. Should the takeover come to fruition, Alexander-Arnold’s move could spark a trend of top players investing in clubs, changing the landscape of ownership in global football.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, should he carry out the buyout, might end up following the foot path of Mbappe, Marcus Rashford and the likes who carry on with respective business ventures outside football.
