Football clubs around the world have been invested by legends of the game and A-list celebrities, but often it is the clubs that you would expect the least to have to create the interests of these superstars.
From the Hiphop Great Snoop Dogg is considering investing in Celtic, to money that is cashed in in the English English teams, many of the clubs that attract have something in common.
They are far from the most elite teams.
Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric is no exception to this movement with the decision of the 39-year-old to become a minority owner of Swansea City after fans have been left behind.
Supporters went to social media to express the confusion that the Los Blancos legend created, with one fan who commented: “A message that I could never have seen.”
And talking about, there are seven other bizarre Football Club investments that mail sport did not see.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mcelhenney and Wrexham
Undoubtedly that of the set the trend to invest in a smaller club, American Acting Star Duo by Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mcelhenney hit the football world in 2020 when they completed a deal to become co-owners of Wrexham.
Since the daring company of the couple, the men's and Dame Squadrons of the Welsh-Outfit have received both promotion, with the men's side protected back-to-back promotions. It has been a Hollywood story line, okay.
Tom Brady and Birmingham City
It is quite safe to say that no one expected Tom Brady – the man who is generally considered the greatest NFL player of all time – to become a minority owner and adviser to the time of the Birmingham City championship.
After the announcement, many were skeptical, what asked the question to be asked about how serious an investment this was for the iconic Quarterback.
Fast forward to now, and his side has just become the first EFL club of the season that gain promotion, with their 2-1 win over Peterborough who secures their return to the championship.
N'Golo Kante and Royal Excelsior Virton
Despite the fact that we all know that N'Golo Kante is a rare breed of football player who is almost enough impossible for a supporter not to love or make an objection, but in this case he had fans scratched their heads when he not only bought an interest in the Belgian third Tier Side Royal Excelsior Virton, but also became the club.
Given the deep -rooted rivalry of France and Belgium, it was a brave choice of the Frenchman. Currently it plays two competitions under the Belgian Pro League and the Al-STIHAD player has taken out his work to give the club the boost he wants.
Will Ferrell and Leeds United
Although Russell Crowe has had an interest in Leeds United since 2015, the fact that the man who played in a Christmas classic and a comedy about two middle -aged losers are making stepbroers, one of the more ridiculous investments on this list.
The actor bought a pole on Elland Road after randomly 'falling in love with the English game'. Although his interest is a small, every little bit really helps, because Leeds is currently in the first place in the championship.
Cesar Azpilicueta and Hashtag United
In 2025 it would not be the least surprising to see that YouTube waves in the sports world, if someone in 2018 would tell you that Cesar Azpilicueta would invest in a team founded by YouTuber Spencer Owen, it would be a wild revelation to hear.
The Spaniard was also appointed as a board member for the club as part of – which turns out to be an extreme – long -term project to use his funds to help the club get to the Premier League.
Michael B. Jordan and Bournemouth
Creed star Michael B. Jordan threw a hook that nobody saw when a deal with the American businessman William Foley saw him in December 2022 becoming a minority shareholder of the Cherries.
The actor – voted the sexiest man who was alive in 2020 – revealed that his reason behind the unexpected decision was because there was 'so much potential there'. With European football for next season on the maps off the coastal city, you have to take your hat – or in this case glove – to the American.
Eva Longoria, Kate Upton and Mesut Ozil and Necaxa
The trio of Eva Longoria, Kate Upton and Mesut Ozil is as strange as it becomes, but this is without mentioning that they have worked together – to buy a 50 percent interest in Necaxa – a club that was then at the bottom of the Mexican league table.
Despite the Mexican roots of Longoria, nobody certainly had the German Maestro who collaborated with an actress and a model on their bingo card.
The Mexican side is currently 13th – of the 18 teams – after he had played half of their league relationships this season. Ozil will undoubtedly do everything he can to help in this situation.
