Cristiano Ronaldo tipped for shock Wrexham transfer as Hollywood owners told ‘I’ve spoken to many former team-mates’

SURELY Cristiano Ronaldo playing at the Racecourse with Wrexham is a step too far – no matter how Hollywood they have become.

But William Gallas believes that the move is “possible”.

Wrexham have been on a remarkable rise back up the football pyramid since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took ownership of the club in November 2020.

The American A-lister millionaires have regularly stated that their aim, however hopeful, is to get Wrexham playing in the Premier League.

The Welsh club sit second in League One after securing back-to-back promotions.

Despite that, the idea of Ronaldo signing for Wrexham does seem far-fetched.

But former Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea defender Gallas can see the potential move happening in the not-so-distant future.

Gallas told Prime Casino: “Cristiano Ronaldo to Wrexham? Anything is possible in football in the modern game.

“It wouldn’t surprise me because money talks and we’ve seen that nothing is impossible these days.

“You see young players going to Saudi Arabia when they would have never left Europe in the past.

“Footballers and football clubs are now obsessed with their brands too and their sponsors… you can make a lot of money and not just from your wages at your club.

“Now everything is about social media and having millions of followers, and both Wrexham and Ronaldo have huge profiles so why not.

“I have spoken to my former team-mates about social media and everything that goes on now and it feels like a different world. So many things are now possible.

“Ronaldo is more than just a footballer, he’s a product and he’s also still scoring so many goals on the pitch.

“There will be so many clubs still happy to have him.”

But despite leaving many EFL sides envious of their near £2million spent in the summer window, Wrexham could never match Ronaldo’s wages.

George Evans’ £7,200 weekly wage makes him Wrexham’s highest paid star, while Ronaldo takes home £3.4m every week.

The former Manchester United forward, 39, is currently plying his trade at Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr.

Ronaldo’s contract is set to expire in 2025.

That has raised speculation around his future but the five-time Ballon d’Or winner told pal Rio Ferdinand that he wants to play football until he’s at least 41 years old.
