In a recent interview, the owner of the French Ligue 1 side FC Nantes has reacted to reports of Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold buying his club.

On Friday, September 20, 2024, news surfaced on social media claiming that the popular Liverpool player, Trent Alexander-Arnold was preparing a £84m bid to acquire Ligue 1 side, FC Nantes.

Earlier in the week, L’Equipe reported that Liverpool defender Alexander-Arnold was considering purchasing Nantes through a fund he owned with his father, Michael. The proposal was reportedly worth €100 million (£84 million), with €80 million (£67 million) paid upfront and €20 million (£17 million) in seller credit with an additional €40 million (£34 million) in possible bonuses.

This attracted a direct response from the current owner of FC Nantes, Kita who revealed that the rumours and speculations were unfound and baseless.

Speaking to Presse Ocean, Kita stated,  “This is all bullsh*t! Where does that come from? How do you expect a serious man who wants to purchase a club to use a journalist? Trent Alexander-Arnold? But I don’t even know him! He told me his father was involved in finance and that they have players as well as agents. I’ve never done any video conference with anyone, ever. It’s nonsense. How can you even in this business, with such sums?”

Reports also confirmed that sources close to Trent Alexander-Arnold have swiftly debunked reports linking the Liverpool full-back to a potential takeover of Ligue 1 side Nantes.
