Real Madrid and Belgium international goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois could invest in Italian football, as his fund has made an offer to buy Serie C club Reggiana.
There have been multiple reports today including from Sky Sport Italia and La Gazzetta dello Sport that NXTPLAY Capital have presented a proposal to buy up 100 per cent of the club’s shares.
Courtois eager to invest in Italian football
The private equity fund was formed in 2025 by Courtois and Gonzalo Vila, investing in sports, media, technology and consumer brands.
They already invest in Le Mans FC in France and KRC Genk in Belgium, but are eager to “build something the people of Reggio Emilia can be proud of: ambitious on the field, close to the community, and built to last,” explained Courtois.
“Giving young players the right environment to grow in will be at the centre of everything we do.”
The status of the negotiations is a little unclear, because current owner Romano Amadei confirmed that while NXTPLAY Capital are interested, they are yet to receive any binding offer.
“The shareholders await an irrevocable offer, accompanied by the necessary caution in the sale process.”
