Becoming a club owner: many dream of it, but very few people can afford this luxury. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney did it with Wrexham and are succeeding in their bet for the moment, since their club is currently in the 4th English division, 15 years after its last rise. Their exploits in North Wales have inspired other celebrities to invest in football clubs. Like the artist ASAP Rocky, close to buying the Tranmere Rovers club, also in D4.
But according to Adam Sommerfeld, a specialist in football investments, a massive influx of celebrities into football investing is to be expected. Particularly in England. “ There are some very high-profile famous people looking, sometimes with their agent, sometimes with the celebrity themselves, but there are definitely some very high-profile celebrities looking right now. The question is whether they find what they are looking for. Sports celebrities want to be seen as supporting a winner. If you support a team in the Premier League who then get relegated three times in a row, you don’t want to be associated with that. It’s about finding a club that could go a long way, but isn’t at risk of collapsing and negatively impacting your brand. », he explained for The Sun. It remains to be seen who will be the next star to buy a football club.
