Ryan Reynolds has fired back.
Wrexham owner Ryan Reynolds has responded to the controversial claims the club are looking to play a League 1 fixture in the US next season.
The Welsh side will play third-tier football for the first time in their history next season after securing promotion from League 2 last season.
Wrexham finished in second place, behind Stockport County in their first attempt after only being promoted from the National League the season prior.

With the club set to play on their biggest ever stage, reports have recently emerged suggesting the club have been in talks to play one of next season’s fixtures against Birmingham City in the US.
Birmingham are by far the biggest draw in League 1 next season after their shock relegation from the Championship.
The Midlands side were taken over by a US-based group in July 2023, with NFL ‘Hall of Famer’ Tom Brady becoming a minority investor a month later.

Wrexham already have a pretty impressive presence in the States, following the release of their Disney Plus documentary, ‘Welcome to Wrexham’.
Keen to follow in Wrexham’s footsteps and boost their presence and visibility in the US, Birmingham bosses asked the EFL if their home fixture against Wrexham in 2024-25 could be played Stateside instead of at St Andrews.
According to the Daily Mail, the proposal was swiftly declined by EFL bosses, much to Birmingham’s disappointment.
The news has been very controversial amongst Blues and Wrexham fans, with the ‘Americanisation’ of UK sports something many fans are tired of.

One Wrexham fan even called out owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney via X, following the news of the proposed venue change.

“Goes against every single one of the “guiding principles” you stated publicly before even buying the club. Let’s not start getting too greedy and breaking promises,” the concerned fan wrote.
However, Reynolds quickly responded to dispel rumours that his side had anything to do with it.
“I agree. And that’s why there have been no talks,” the Hollywood star responded.
If the proposal had been approved, it would have made history as the first-ever English domestic fixture to be played outside of England and Wales.
