Fashion brand Stone Island, which has become synonymous with football fans, are lining up a bid to own 30% of Serie C side Modena FC.
The high end fashion brand, which originated in Italy, has become a staple part of football fashion amongst fans and even Pep Guardiola.
According to reports in Italy, via Soccer Bible, Stone Island are looking at cementing their position in the sport by buying a 30% stake in Modena FC, with the shares available at the beginning of March.
The idea of Stone Island part owning a club could also lead to the fashion brand supplying the kits and teamwear for the north Italian club.

That would certainly boost their popularity both in Italy and throughout the world as all their merchandise would become must own and fashionable.
Stone Island was founded in Ravarino which is part of the Modena provence but the area is best known for Ferrari and Lamborghini, as well as Balsamic vinegar.
The likes of Asamoah Gyan, Enrico Chiesa and Ignazio Abate have all played for the club in the past but they're currently in eighth place in Group B of the third tier in Italian football.
Last year the company sponsored the Chinatown Invitational, a five-a-side tournament that takes place in New York's Chinatown and involved teams from around the world.

Teams from London, Montreal, Milan and New York City all competed for the Golden Pig' trophy whilst wearing kits made and sponsored by Stone Island.
It wouldn't be the first time that a fashion brand have combined with a football team in recent years, with PSG linking up with Jordan for a range of on and off kit clothes.
The Champions League kits for the French club have been designed by Jordan and they're a pretty good looking range.
