Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac’s net worth vs Chelsea’s Todd Boehly as FA Cup clash confirmed News: The72 – Football League News

Wrexham drew Chelsea at home in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac’s Wrexham have drawn Premier League giants Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup, which will take place on Saturday, March 7.

The Dragons have earned three successive promotions and are now going for a fourth. Phil Parkinson has worked his magic again with Wrexham in 8th place Championship table and only one point outside the top six.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are in fifth place in the Premier League. The west London club spent a whopping £285 million last summer, while Wrexham spent £30 million during the summer transfer window, setting an unprecedented club record.

Wrexham vs Chelsea owners net worth compared

Wrexham remains an emerging club. But they’re coming to market incredibly quickly and it’s all thanks to the work of Hollywood owners Reynolds and Mac. The two actors turned businessmen have a net worth of £295 million and £38 million respectively and reports in the US earlier this season estimated that Wrexham as a club is worth £350 million.

Chelsea’s billionaire co-owner and chairman Todd Boehly has a staggering net worth of £6.3 billion. And it shows as Chelsea have spent huge amounts of money in the transfer market since arriving at Stamford Bridge in 2022.

In the 2022/23 season, Boehly’s first at the helm, the club spent a whopping £747 million on transfer fees. Then £553 million the following season. Chelsea’s transfer spend has been worth around £1.5 billion since Boehly’s arrival.

When was the last time Wrexham played Chelsea?

Wrexham and Chelsea have met several times in their history. The last meeting between the two was in 1982 in the old Division Two. Wrexham actually won that match at the Racecourse.

The match before that was the FA Cup at the Racecourse, which Chelsea won 2-1. Wrexham have played Chelsea a total of nine times in their history, winning just twice and Chelsea winning four times.

But when the two sides meet for the first time in 44 years next month it will mark an extremely important milestone in Wrexham’s history. Not only is this the furthest they have gone in the FA Cup since 1997, but they are also expected to give Chelsea a truly difficult match.

Parkinson’s side play very direct, physical football that Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea won’t play against very often, and may be very difficult to play against.
