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.” BERGAMO, ITALY – DECEMBER 10: Charles De Ketelaere of Atalanta scores his team’s first goal past Thibaut Courtois of Real Madrid from the penalty spot during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD6 match between Atalanta BC and Real Madrid C.F. at Stadio di Bergamo on December 10, 2024 in Bergamo, Italy.
