Historic club in France, known in particular for having given the first minutes as a professional to Zinedine Zidane, Patrick Viera or Gael Clichy, AS Cannes has a new buyer. It is the Friedkin group, owners of AS Roma, who will try to put AS Cannes back on the right track, according to The Athletic. The club has not known Ligue 1 since 1998. In 2014, they lost their professional status following major financial problems. Cannes was promoted from Nationale 3 and will discover the Nationale 2 at the start of the school year.
The British media explains that French clubs are particularly attractive for groups made up of several clubs (such as the takeover of Strasbourg by Chelsea). Indeed, they are inexpensive and produce good players.
