Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds has issued a playful transfer plea to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, urging him to join his club, Wrexham. The request came during a promotional interview for the upcoming film Deadpool & Wolverine, where Reynolds, alongside co-star Hugh Jackman, spoke with the Premier League’s official channel.

During the interview, Jackman drew a comparison between himself and Salah, prompting Reynolds to make his pitch directly to the camera: “Ryan Reynolds, co-chairman of Wrexham AFC here. Mo, you’d be warmly welcomed at the Racecourse Ground in North Wales. Give it some thought.”
A clip of the interview was shared on the Premier League’s official X account, showing Jackman expressing his admiration for Salah and encouraging him to respond to his messages. Jackman said, “Mo Salah, even being mentioned in the same sentence as you is incredibly cool. I watched you play against Crystal Palace while we were filming, and I think you’re amazing. Please respond to my DMs.”
The video sparked amusing reactions from Premier League fans, many of whom found the idea of Salah in a Wrexham shirt hard to imagine. Liverpool’s official U.S. account humorously responded, “We’ll try to put in a good word for you, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds. Keep your hands off him!”
Fans also weighed in, with one user asking, “Did Ryan Reynolds just ask Salah to play for Wrexham? Game is game.” Another fan praised Salah as “the face of the Premier League,” while a Liverpool supporter suggested Salah should respond to Jackman but reject Reynolds’ offer, emphasizing his loyalty to Liverpool.
As for Salah, he is set to lead Liverpool’s attack under the new management of Arne Slot. However, his future at Anfield remains uncertain as his current contract runs until 2025, with no news yet on an extension.
