Courtois' Italian project: total offer for AC Reggiana
Thibaut Courtois, goalkeeper of Real Madrid, presented via his investment vehicle NXTPLAY an offer to fully take over AC Reggiana, an Italian Serie C club currently placed sixth.
The offer for AC Reggiana
The Italian newspaper reported that NXTPLAY wishes to acquire 100 % of AC Reggiana.
The investment has already led the vehicle to visit the club several times in recent months.
Discussions have taken place with sponsors, local entrepreneurs and other club stakeholders.
The club was relegated from Serie B last season, but it now occupies sixth place in Serie C.
In the 1990s, AC Reggiana played three seasons in Serie A.
A Belgian, Georges Grün, wore the club's shirt during the 1996‑1997 season.
According to the press, an offer presented a few days ago was rejected, showing the seriousness of Courtois and his partner.

Club history and Belgian links
The shareholders of Reggiana said they appreciate the publicly expressed desire by NXTPLAY to develop a project for the club, while awaiting an irrevocable offer accompanied by the required deposit.
Courtois's investment portfolio
Courtois owns or has owned stakes in about twenty companies.
Just over six months ago, he invested in the power‑boat team Sierra Racing Club.
He is a shareholder of the French club Le Mans, alongside Novak Djokovic and Felipe Massa.
He also holds stakes in the Spanish club CD Extremadura.
KRC Genk is part of his football projects.
In June, he entered the share capital of the public limited company of the Limburg club via NXTPLAY, where he was trained.
In 2025, he created the private equity firm NXTPLAY Capital with Gonzalo Vila, already invested in Le Mans FC and KRC Genk.
With NXTPLAY, we want to build something that the residents of Reggio Emilia can be proud of ».
