As an elite actor and businessman, Ryan Reynolds has been one of the best soccer club owners. The Deadpool star has recently cracked quite a few mouth-watering business deals. One of them was Mint Mobile. Reynolds purchased a 25% ownership stake in Mint Mobile in 2019.

The Hollywood star also took on a creative role at the company since then. However, a much larger firm took over Mint Mobile recently. As per sources, the deal was worth about $1.35 billion.

The 46-year-old also received a decent chunk of the $1.35 billion due to his ownership stake.

Reynolds connected to a major soccer team through a new acquisition!

Ryan Reynolds made over $300 million from the acquisition. His fans at Wrexham AFC were also extremely excited about the deal. They believed that this influx of cash would help their owner pump in loads of more cash into the club. But there’s another connection that most of us are missing. After T-Mobile acquired Mint Mobile, a big door has seemingly opened for the Deadpool star.

T-Mobile has been connected with FC Bayern Munich for over twenty years. Their logo has been on the front of every FC Bayern Munich jersey for over two decades. After such a long partnership, both mutually agreed on a further contract extension till 2027, earlier in 2022. It’s safe to say that the Hollywood star will have direct access to the German soccer giants through T-Mobile.

As per the terms of the deal, Reynolds will retain his key role with Mint Mobile. The Mint co-founders, David Glickman, and Rizwan Kassim, also plan on keeping their brand as a separate business unit. This begs the question: will Reynolds have access to FC Bayern Munich through the acquisition? Could we possibly see another major soccer investment from the Marvel star?

Apart from this, Reynolds’ investment at Wrexham AFC has just improved with the influx of cash.

Ryan Reynolds has massively helped Wrexham AFC with finances!

While having direct connections with FC Bayern Munich, the 46-year-old has also received over $300 million for the deal. Prior to that, the Wrexham AFC co-owner also took a keen interest and started developing other aspects of the club. Earlier this year, the club officially announced that the popular Kop stand at the club’s stadium will finally be renovated.

The legendary stand would be completely demolished, paving the way for 5500 additional seats. The Welsh soccer club reportedly wanted to take the decision for quite a few years. However, financial issues always held the club back from doing anything. Last month, Reynolds posted a video of a renovated version of the club’s gym.

Every fan went berserk on social media after viewing the video. With Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at the helm, everything seems possible.
