Poised To Join Ryan Reynolds’ Project, $480,000-Rated Superstar Hands in Transfer Request To Join Wrexham AFC

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s previous season at Wrexham AFC was nothing less than a fairy tale. Furthermore, thanks to the Hollywood owners’ immense effort, Wrexham has become the talk of the town. After clinching its promotion to League Two, Wrexham’s manager has tons of responsibilities to recruit star players.

Unfortunately, the club has already lost a major transfer battle, setting them back even before the season has begun. Despite losing the $980,000 transfer battle, Wrexham AFC rejoices after the rival club captain requests to represent the Hollywood stars.

Shrewsbury Town’s captain request to join Wrexham AFC

Wrexham has already lost the transfer battle to sign in former Manchester United player Nick Powell. Indeed, Wrexham fans had a lot of expectations from Nick; however, it all just turned out to be a disappointment.

Surprisingly, Wrexham’s rival club captain has requested to join the Hollywood star’s team. Wrexham’s biggest rivalries are with English clubs, Chester and Shrewsbury Town. Therefore, Luke Leahy’s transfer announcement to Wrexham shocked several soccer fans.

Shrewsbury Town skipper Luke Leahy has handed in a transfer request. The 30-year-old joined two years ago from Bristol Rovers and played as a central midfielder. In his last 51 appearances, Luke has scored 12 goals and four assists.

Luke has been one of the most consistent performers in League One over the last two seasons. Owing to his splendid performance and experience, Wrexham has a significant opportunity to bring League One’s finest central midfielder to the squad.

Luke handed in his transfer request in the desire to join the Hollywood Stars team, Wrexham. The reports suggest that the Shrewsbury Town’s captain is quite interested in Ryan’s project and wants to be part of it.

Regardless, the Shropshire Star understands Town will not sell Leahy until their asking price has been met. After not getting their hands on former Manchester United player, Nick Powell, Wrexham shouldn’t miss this impressive opportunity.

Why did Wrexham fail to sign Nick Powell?

The Hollywood Owners, Ryan Reynolds, and Rob McElhenney were a lot interested to sign former Manchester United player Nick Powell. With his experience playing in higher leagues like the Premier League and EFL Championship, Powell brings a wealth of knowledge and talent to the team.

His market value, estimated at $980,000, speaks volumes about his worth as a player. Unfortunately, Wrexham lost the transfer battle to their rivals, Stockport County. Indeed, it’s a bitter blow for Ryan Reynolds’ side, who had hoped to secure Powell’s services. The dreams of bolstering their squad and continuing their promotion push ended in disappointment.
