Wrexham owners Reynolds and McElhenney may have just thrown their hats into the ring for the race to sign Lionel Messi. Mirror Football exclusively reported last week that Messi is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain in the summer transfer window.
With the Argentine icon expected to have plenty of suitors, the Wrexham owners have cheekily revealed their preference for who they'd like to have in their team between Messi and Ronaldo:
"Messi," American actor McElhenney firmly told Sports Illustrated in 2022. "I like his size," he hilariously replied when asked why. Fellow co-owner Reynolds agreed, with the Canadian adding: "I was going to say the same thing."
Reynolds, though, made sure to note: "I do not sleep on Ronaldo. They're both unbelievable athletes. But I think I'd also take Messi. Gareth Bale wasn't an option, no?"
While Reynolds and McElhenney's efforts have won the hearts of thousands of people worldwide, it is unlikely that Messi or Ronaldo would consider signing for Wrexham. Nonetheless, this does not diminish the ambitious nature of the two Hollywood stars.
