His representation by Roc Nation also provides him access to a network of top athletes from other sports, notably the NBA and NFL, helping to diversify his business interests even further.
The Portuguese second division consists of 18 teams, including the reserve sides of giants like Benfica and Porto.
Clubs like Portimonense are already seeing ownership from Brazilian figures, with Rodiney Sampaio at the helm of the club.
