Could Lionel Messi And Cristiano Ronaldo Team Up On Wrexham?: 'Why Not?'

Wrexham's meteoric rise under Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac has seen the club dominate headlines across the globe, and now they are being tipped to chase the biggest icons in football history.

Former Premier League manager Tony Pulis believes the North Wales side possesses the unique pulling power required to lure the likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Neymar to the Racecourse Ground.

Since the high-profile takeover by Reynolds and Mac in February 2021, Wrexham have evolved from a struggling National League outfit into a global phenomenon. On the pitch, the success has been just as rapid as the commercial growth, with Phil Parkinson leading the Reds to a historic run of three successive promotions.

The club’s most recent campaign saw them finish seventh in the Championship, narrowly missing out on a play-off spot by just two points. As they prepare for a future assault on the Premier League, speculation is beginning to mount over which world-class talents could be brought in to spearhead their top-flight ambitions.

When discussing who the club should target next, Pulis told BOYLE Sports, who offer the latest football odds: "Wrexham’s next big signing? Cristiano, Messi, Neymar — why not? It’s a wonderful place, Wales. Especially North Wales. A beautiful country."
