The favorite Welsh soccer team owner, Ryan Reynolds, could not buy his dream team back in his homeland. Apart from the movies, this entertainer made a name for himself through the success of Wrexham AFC. Soon after, the ambitious Canadian aimed for a higher goal to buy the Ottawa Senators. Fans were excited, executives were in favor and the budget was not out of reach, but he lost on the team.

The father of four had begun going to the team’s matches, clicking with the fans, and almost being referred to as the new owner. Despite having six other bidders, everyone was confident of his win, but maybe his own reassurance led to a mistake.

How disagreement over one condition may have led Ryan Reynolds to lose out on Ottawa Senators

Ryan Reynolds had teamed up with bidders and real estate developer Remington Group to bid on the $800 million worth of Ottawa Senators. But according to Forbes, one condition of their led them to lose out on the deal. He and the Group’s leader Chris Bratty wanted a 30-day exclusive time period to purchase the team. But there was already a condition to put down a nonrefundable deposit if a purchase was to be made.

According to this exclusive condition, trustees of the late Eugene Melnyk who owned the team, outrightly denied this request. The reason? An exception of this kind would not be taken well by other interested parties. There are a total of six strong bidders, including rapper Snoop Dogg, The Weeknd, and more. In addition, Reynolds, who bid $1 billion, is not even the highest bidder.

Moreover, the Galatioto Sports Partners have the duty to hand over the team to the highest bidders. Agreeing to an exclusive condition would have led them to lose out on other interested parties.

The Deadpool actor is also working on other sports ambitions

Ryan Reynolds has just begun his dream of investing in sports. With Wrexham doing well, he and Rob McElhenney are set to raise £17 for Racecourse Ground regeneration. It would allow for a greater capacity of fans and bring in a new wave of Wrexham supporters. Needless to say, the co-owners have left the Welsh Government, fans, and players mesmerized.
