Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney buy ANOTHER football club with $30,000,000 takeover

Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are reportedly set to buy another football club.

Back in 2021, Hollywood duo Reynolds and McElhenney bought Welsh side Wrexham for a reported fee of £2 million.

At the time, the Red Dragons were in Non-League, but after heavy investment from the new owners, they are on the rise in England football.

Led by manager Phil Parkinson, Wrexham secured back-to-back promotions and are currently in third place in the League One table.

Away from Wrexham, it has recently been claimed that Reynolds and McElhenney are set to invest in another club.

As reported by The Athletic, the Hollywood pair are part of a US consortium that bought over 99 per cent of Colombian side La Equidad in a deal reportedly worth $30 million.

The report stated: "A U.S. consortium fronted by real estate investor Al Tylis and Club Necaxa executive Sam Porter has completed a takeover of Colombian soccer team La Equidad — backed by investors including actors Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney and Eva Longoria."

In addition, the consortium also includes the likes of podcaster and entrepreneur Scott Galloway — known as Prof G — as well as Shawn Marion, the four-time NBA all-star.

La Equidad, based in the capital city of Bogota, finished 12th out of 20 teams in the Colombian top flight last year.

In a statement, Porter, co-managing partner of NX Colombia, the holding company for the acquisition, said: "I am pleased to confirm that Al Tylis, our investment partners, and I have successfully acquired Club Deportivo La Equidad.

"This is an incredible opportunity to enhance the club’s growth in every aspect and to become an integral part of Colombian football. We are privileged to collaborate with an outstanding group of investors, including Eva Longoria, Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney, and Shawn Marion, who have been instrumental in our project at Club Necaxa in Mexico. Together, we are committed to elevating the Club to its highest potential."
