Wrexham have been on a fairytale journey since the club was bought by acting stars Rob McElhenney and gaining a worldwide fanbase through the Welcome to Wrexham docuseries. The historic Welsh club ended their 15-year stay in the National League last year, earning back-to-back promotions to League One, and could return to the second tier for the first time since 1982.

While the Dragons’ celebrity owners have signed several former Premier League stars during their time in charge—Ben Foster, James McLean, Steven Fletcher—Ronaldo would smash their current wage structure. Wrexham’s highest-paid player, George Evans, reportedly earns around £7,000 per week, a fraction of the £3.4million weekly wage that Ronaldo receives at Al-Nassr.

However, Wrexham did attempt to sign one of Ronaldo’s former team-mates. Upon the club’s return to the EFL in 2023, Wrexham tried to coax Gareth Bale out of retirement, and co-owner Mclhenney has admitted that the club remains interested in the Welsh football icon.

"Gareth Bale is still technically available. I don't know, I made the plea last year and I'm just going to tell Gareth that the offer's still on the table," McElhenney said in June. "We'll let you off for whenever you need to get off. As long as you come to training once or twice a week we can figure out how to get you 10 minutes on the pitch. And the golf courses -- Wales is amongst the most beautiful countries in the world."
