Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is considering providing financing to Serie A, a boost to the iconic Italian football league that’s struggled to secure backers in recent years, according to people familiar with the matter.

The US investment bank giant sent a letter to Serie A’s top officials expressing a preliminary interest as a financing partner to develop the league’s media business, the people said asking not to be identified discussing confidential information.
