A$AP Rocky Eyes Tranmere Rovers Purchase

A$AP Rocky is reportedly poised to purchase an 80% stake in English football club Tranmere Rovers for £15 million, as part of an investment group led by celebrity lawyer Joe Tacopina. This development follows a trend of American celebrities investing in English football, similar to the successful acquisition of Wrexham by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The takeover, pending EFL approval, could also lead to a documentary akin to 'Welcome to Wrexham', potentially boosting the club's profile. Tranmere Rovers, currently owned by Mark Palios, have struggled in recent seasons, finishing 16th in League Two. Tacopina believes the club is undervalued and sees potential for growth through celebrity involvement and marketing. Rihanna, A$AP Rocky's partner, might also be seen supporting the team at Prenton Park.
