The FC Barcelona legend managed to get Neymar Jr on board for the Brazilian edition of the Kings League. Reportedly, fans from countries like Brazil were quite impressed with the ‘freestyle’ nature of the league. Hence, Pique seemingly found it beneficial to expand his unique soccer investment to Brazil. Neymar will be the second owner of a team in the Brazilian Kings League.
The mighty Ronaldinho has already acquired a team in the Brazilian edition. His idea with Ibai Llanos to create a breakaway and unique league from the regular soccer leagues has turned out to become a multimillion idea. From the ‘final four’ of the inaugural edition at Camp Nou, Pique cashed out more than $3 million as profit.
