Wrexham's Hollywood owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have revealed their "serious" interest in signing Gareth Bale to play for the club. The former Wales captain, who retired in January, has turned down the offer saying he is content spending extra time with his family. In a press conference, the co-owners of the Wrexham club explained their interest in Bale is genuine, but they wouldn't pressure him to leave his current commitments any time soon. Reynolds praised Bale's passion for football but also said he deserves to live his life as he wants it. Bale himself seemed amused by the offer, describing it as a free round of golf when asked about Reynolds and McElhenney's offer at the UK's Sport Industry Awards. Wrexham has become a popular subject for football fans since its acquisition by Reynolds and McElhenney, who promised to take the team to the Premier League.
