Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is expanding his activities beyond the football field. The Belgian will become a shareholder of the French Le Mans through the investment company NxtPlay, the co-founder of which.
Previously, the Ligue 2 club announced the arrival of new financial partners - OutField and OakBerry funds. Before the investment project, the star of world sports was also added:
tennis player Novak Djokovic and Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa and Kevin Magnussen.
According to French media, in the near future OutField plans to increase its share and become the majority owner of Le Mans. In parallel to the shareholder structure, NxtPlay will leave.
The main strategic goal of investors is to stabilize the position of the team, which now sits in fifth place in another division of France, and in the future, bring the club to League 1.
