Trent Alexander-Arnold ‘submits shock £84m bid to buy French top-flight club’ as he eyes second sporting investment
TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD has submitted a surprise bid to buy a top-flight French football club, reports suggest.
The Liverpool star already owns a stake in French car manufacturer and Formula One team Alpine.
However, the 25-year-old is now looking to add a second French name to his portfolio of assets with the addition of Ligue 1 side Nantes.
According to French outlet L’Equipe, the bid is worth around £84m (€100m).
It is understood the offer is broken down into £67m upfront with a further £17m in seller credit.
There is also the potential for a further £34m in bonuses.
The England international earns £180,000-a-week at Liverpool – with his contract at Anfield up at the end of the season.
Alexander-Arnold’s father, Michael, helps to manage his financial assets via an investment fund based in London.
