After being the center of attention due to its Hollywood-backed ownership, Wrexham is now linked with another global icon, Cristiano Ronaldo. Reports suggest that the Portuguese superstar could become an investor in the club, joining Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Wrexham, currently second in League One, is on the verge of securing promotion to the Championship, further boosting its profile.
Former Premier League player Andy Townsend speculated that Ronaldo could buy a club like Wrexham once he retires, given his business ventures in hotels and other industries. He believes Ronaldo’s love for football and confidence in managing a club make such an investment plausible.
Financially, Wrexham has been thriving under its celebrity owners. The club reported an impressive £26.7 million in revenue for the year ending June 2024, largely attributed to the massive global attention from Reynolds and McElhenney’s involvement. Adding Ronaldo to the ownership group could further elevate the club’s status, attracting even more international interest.
With Wrexham’s rise through the English football system and its increasing financial success, Ronaldo’s potential involvement could be a game-changing move that cements the club’s place as a global football brand.
