We surveyed the 25 Ori association for direct-imaging companions. Thisassociation has an age of only few million years. Among other targets, weobserved CVSO 30, which has recently been identified as the first T Tauri starfound to host a transiting planet candidate. We report on photometric andspectroscopic high-contrast observations with the Very Large Telescope, theKeck telescopes, and the Calar Alto observatory. They reveal a directly imagedplanet candidate close to the young M3 star CVSO 30. The JHK-band photometry ofthe newly identified candidate is at better than 1 sigma consistent withlate-type giants, early-T and early-M dwarfs, and free-floating planets. Otherhypotheses such as galaxies can be excluded at more than 3.5 sigma. A luckyimaging z' photometric detection limit z'= 20.5 mag excludes early-M dwarfs andresults in less than 10 MJup for CVSO 30 c if bound. We present spectroscopicobservations of the wide companion that imply that the only remainingexplanation for the object is that it is the first very young (< 10 Myr)L-T-type planet bound to a star, meaning that it appears bluer than expected asa result of a decreasing cloud opacity at low effective temperatures. Only aplanetary spectral model is consistent with the spectroscopy, and we deduce abest-fit mass of 4-5 Jupiter masses (total range 0.6-10.2 Jupiter masses). Thismeans that CVSO 30 is the first system in which both a close-in and a wideplanet candidate are found to have a common host star. The orbits of the twopossible planets could not be more different: they have orbital periods of10.76 hours and about 27000 years. The two orbits may have formed during amutual catastrophic event of planet-planet scattering.
