Kate Upton, Justin Verlander Reportedly Buying Into Mexican Soccer Team

Kate Upton and Justin Verlander are buying into a soccer team. Hollywood loves getting involved in sports, even soccer, which is still the most popular sport in the world. Hollywood starlet Kate Upton and her husband Justin Verlander are buying into a Mexican soccer team according to reports.

Via Sportico:

“For the past few years, American investors have poured money into soccer clubs in England, France and Italy, sensing untapped commercial opportunities. Now for the first time, they’re turning their attention to Mexico.

Real estate investor Al Tylis and Sam Porter, an executive at MLS club D.C. United, have an agreement in place to buy about half of Liga MX franchise Club Necaxa, according to people familiar with the matter. Their group includes Mexican-American actress Eva Longoria, German soccer star Mesut Ozil, model Kate Upton and her husband, MLB pitcher Justin Verlander.

The deal values the club, currently owned by the Tinajero family, in the low-nine figures, according to the people, who were granted anonymity because the Mexican soccer federation hasn’t yet approved the transaction. Both Porter and Tylis declined to comment, and a representative for the club didn’t immediately respond to an inquiry.”
