Paris Hilton’s brother-in-law completes Deadline Day transfer aged 45… despite never playing professionally before
A PORTUGUESE second division side have reportedly signed Paris Hilton’s brother-in-law – despite him being 45 and having NEVER played pro.
Vilaverdense are based in the city of Braga and are currently struggling in the Liga Portugal 2.
However, BOLA have claimed that they have surprisingly opted to bolster their ranks with a move for the American striker Courtney Reum.
The veteran, whose brother Carter is married to socialite Hilton, has only ever played the beautiful game for Columbia University Varsity.
BOLA claim that they approached Vilaverdense for comment after noticing that Reum had been registered as a player for them.
A Vilaverdense spokesman told them: “The decision [to sign Reum] was taken by our scouting department.
“His age is not a problem. He has the energy of a 20-year-old player.
The club’s sporting director, Tanou, has also been contacted for comment but has not yet responded to the request.
Reum is a businessman, investor and author of the book Shortcut Your Startup: Speed Up Success with Unconventional Advice from the Trenches.
His footballing abilities are not known, and he has not even referred to them in any photographs posted on his social media channels.

The Los Angeles-born ace has, however, been on the cover of a men’s fitness magazine.
But he is perhaps most famous on these shores for being the brother-in-law of Paris, the millionaire heiress to the Hilton hotel chain.
She and Carter Reum, 42, announced their engagement on her 40th birthday.
Reum reportedly shelled out a massive $2m on Paris’ huge diamond and they tied the knot later that year in November 2022.
His elder sibling has founded an American drinks company, promoted tourism in the US and also invested in a host of start-up firms.
Vilaverdense, who have been owned by Canadian company Lank since 2020, are currently second bottom of League 2 and are only three points ahead of Belenenses.
They have also swooped to sign former Wolves, Bradford and Motherwell winger Sherwin Seedorf.
The 25-year-old is a distant relative of Holland, Real Madrid and AC Milan great Clarence Seedorf.
