Journalist
After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial team of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
The summer of 2024 will have been busy for Kylian Mbappé. After 7 years at PSG, the French international decided to make his dream come true and sign for Real Madrid. At the same time, he decided to put on a new costume, that of a manager. Indeed, Mbappé became the majority shareholder of SM Caen, buying 80% of the club for €20M. But now it won't have been such a great deal…
This is a cap that we did not expect at the moment for Kylian Mbappé. In fact, the player Real Madrid became the majority shareholder of SM Caenbuying 80% of the club's shares in exchange for €20 million. But is it money well spent? Romain Molina had already balanced on this investment of Mbappé and now he has added a layer to this affair which would not be so beautiful after all.
-“It’s terribly expensive”
« We will focus on the price. We hear €20M for 80% of the club. That is to say that Caen is valued at €25M and there is a big problem. It's either the Mbappé were not aware that the club negotiated for much lower prices with groups. Caen, the idea was €18-20M. Nobody put up this money. When you have so many interested groups, all of whom refuse because of finances, you ask yourself questions. Recently, we were more likely to be around €12-15M. You value the club at 25 and you put in €20M. But on top of that, Caen loses more than €9M per year. Some will say tax optimization, etc. I don't know, that will be a question to ask. What is certain is that in terms of negotiation, it is horribly expensive. In the world of football, there are some who laugh and say that they have been pigeonholed », explained Romain Molinaa few months ago, on the repurchase of Caen par Kylian Mbappé.
“It’s not such a nice deal.”
In a video Youtube, Romain Molina persisted on this bad affair of Kylian Mbappé. « We will remember that the club, when it gets it back, it is not such a great deal. The price is already expensive. That's very expensive for a club that loses between €9 and €10 million minimum per year in structural deficit. That is to say that Caen must sell each year for the same amount otherwise the shareholder must put it back into the pot. You are going to tell me in business terms, that raises questions. So yes, it's true that there is potential, it's Caen, there is the public, a story, a structure, a story. Except now you have to clean up, it's one of the biggest messes in Ligue 2 for 5 years “, he then said.
