An American investment group has reportedly submitted an offer of approximately €2 billion to purchase Italian Serie A soccer club SSC Napoli, according to reports from The Athletic.

The potential acquisition would represent one of the largest investments by American investors in European soccer, as US-based groups continue to expand their presence in international football markets. Napoli, based in Naples, Italy, is one of Serie A's most prominent clubs and won the Italian championship in the 2022-23 season.

Details about the specific American group behind the offer have not been disclosed, and neither Napoli nor representatives of the potential buyers have publicly confirmed the reported bid. The club is currently owned by Italian businessman Aurelio De Laurentiis, who has controlled the team since 2004.

The reported offer comes amid increasing American investment in European soccer clubs, with US-based ownership groups having acquired several major teams across various leagues in recent years. Serie A has seen growing international investor interest as clubs seek to expand their global reach and commercial opportunities.

Neither Napoli officials nor the reported American investment group responded immediately to requests for comment regarding the potential transaction.
