Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac have always been very clear that they want to take Wrexham to the Premier League.
The North American duo purchased the Welsh juggernaut in February 2021 for just £2m.
At the time, Ryan Reynolds was mocked by the media when he said Wrexham could become a Premier League team.
Just over four years later, the Dragons have made EFL history with three successive promotions.
Wrexham will play Championship football for the first time ever next month, but the goal has always been the Premier League.
Ryan Reynolds changes stance on Wrexham reaching Premier League
The latest promotion was confirmed on April 26, 2025, after a 3-0 victory over Charlton Athletic at the Racecourse Ground.
Not long after the Dragons secured a spot in the second tier for 2025/26, Reynolds said when Wrexham will reach the Premier League.
The actor stated at the time: “In 10 years’ time, the plan is Premier League. Why not? No one has ever done anything great in this world thinking, ‘let’s go halfway’.”
However, it appears Reynolds’ stance on his club reaching the top tier of English football has changed, surely to the delight of fans.
A report from the Daily Mail on Wednesday has now claimed that Wrexham believe they can reach the Premier League by 2027, which is just two seasons away.

How much would Wrexham earn from Premier League promotion
The ever-changing nature of the EFL and Premier League and TV deals means the exact figure will differ depending on when Wrexham are promoted.
But looking at the 2024/25 numbers, we get a rough idea of the staggering increase in income the Dragons could receive.
Sunderland and Sheffield United clashed in the latest Championship play-off final, with the former emerging as victors.
The BBC reported that the winners of the showpiece were due to receive a minimum of £200m in extra income.
