'I don't even know him!' - Nantes owner shuts down 'bullsh*t' report

Earlier this 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.
Reports from L'Equipe also suggested that the Liverpool full-back's father met with Kita three times, including a video meeting before meeting in Geneva. However, the Nantes owner has fully shot down the claims made by the media of the potential sale of Nantes.
Speaking to Presse Ocean, Kita said: "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?"
Sources close to the young Liverpool full-back have already shot down the claims made in the media this week about the potential takeover of the Ligue 1 side, and it is likely that the entire story could turn out to be a whole load of nothing in the end by the looks of it.
