Trent Alexander-Arnold Not In Contention To Buy French Club Despite Reports—-Reports in France claims that Liverpool and England defender Trent Alexander-Arnold was involved in a bid to buy Ligue 1 side Nantes in a blockbuster $100million deal have been refuted.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is not in the running to buy Ligue 1 side Nantes despite reports linking him with a $100m bid – it’s been claimed.
On Thursday evening, news emerged the Reds right-back was reportedly interested in buying the French top flight team. L’Equipe reported conversations had been held with Alexander-Arnold’s father, who manages his son via a London-based investment fund, over a potential takeover, though a deal “looks complicated’.
However, those claims have now been refuted. The Athletic’s James Pearce reports Liverpool’s right-back is not in the running to own the Ligue 1 side. Pearce wrote on X in response to the initial story from L’Equipe: “Told this is not true.”
The 25-year-old is already a minority shareholder of French Formula 1 team Alpine alongside Rory McIlroy, Anthony Joshua and Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Nantes, who are currently captained by former Liverpool midfielder Pedro Chirivella, is currently owned by Polish businessman Waldemar Kita.
Kita, who has owned Nantes since 2007, is reportedly looking to sell up due to a number of issues, one of which is Ligue 1’s inability to land a lucrative TV deal. Additionally, he has been unable to build the club a new stadium.
