Novak Djokovic, Felipe Massa and Kevin Magnussen are also involved with Brazilian investment fund OutField, which has become the majority owner of Le Mans.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has joined the Brazilian investment fund OutField, which now owns the second-division French team Le Mans, the club announced on Thursday.

Tennis star Novak Djokovic and former racing driver Felipe Massa and Kevin Magnussen are also involved with OutField, which has become the majority owner of Le Mans.

Courtois sent a message to the team’s fans via YouTube, explaining that his schedule at Real Madrid was keeping him busy but that he would visit soon.

“Hello to everyone at the club, especially the fans. We are convinced we can help Le Mans reach new heights in the coming months," the Belgian international said.

Le Mans are currently fifth in the French second tier, just three points behind the league leaders Troyes and a single point off the promotion places with eleven matches remaining.

“The Brazilian group OutField has taken another step today by finalising the acquisition of the club," Le Mans stated on their website.

OutField joined the ownership last August and has been gradually increasing its share base.

Previous main shareholder Thierry Gomez said it was an exciting time for the club, where he will remain as president.

“This is a significant new step for the club, which should allow Le Mans FC to establish itself permanently in professional football and continue its development," the Frenchman said.
