“[Wrexham] Would Have Been Cool” – Ex-Premier League and England International Admits Receiving a Shock Proposal From Ryan Reynolds’ $2.5 Million Team

Wrexham is currently enduring one of the best moments of its life. The club has witnessed a historic rise since its new owners, Ryan Reynolds, and Rob McElhenney took over. Both have changed the fortunes of the Welsh side and are eyeing endless glory.

The Hollywood duo took over the club back in 2021 and since then the club has seen a lot. A team that once struggled to win games is currently dominating the fifth division, thus eyeing a promotion to the upper divisions. The Red Dragons started their rebuilding from scratch as they have created quite an army to fight to win as many laurels as they can.

Ben Foster reveals shock offer from Wrexham

In the process of rebuilding the team, Wrexham has added several talents to their side in order to contest for the silverware. Some had to be canned while others were brought to bolster their ranks. And in that procedure, the club tried to sign a former Premier League superstar.

Former Manchester United superstar, Ben Foster has revealed he received an offer to join the Red Dragons back in the summer of 2022. “Wrexham were one of the clubs I got an offer from earlier in the season. I had a few offers. [Wrexham] would have been cool.”

However, the player turned down the offer and preferred hanging over his boots. The player also had huge praise for Ryan Reynolds’s side, who narrowly missed out on promotion during the arrival of new owners. “The thing with Wrexham is it’s such a football community and the people really care about that club,” he said.

The player revealed he was even offered a way back to the Premier League by this season’s FA Cup finalist, Newcastle United. The team had lost both of their main stoppers, Nick Pope and Martin Dubravka, but it was a road he decided not to go with.

Foster’s life after retirement

Foster hung his boots on September 15 of 2022 and took a job as a goalkeeper coach for Soccer Aid. The yearly conducted charity match will be played at Old Trafford this year on 11 June.

He will be coaching the goalkeepers for Soccer Aid World XI FC, a side led by the likes of Usain Bolt, Robbie Keane, Steven Bartlett, and Lee Mack. They will lock horns against an England team captained by the 2022 Euro winner with Lionesses, Jill Scott. Other stars including Jermain Defoe, Jack Wilshere, and Tom Grennan also signed up to feature.
