According to the source, Reynolds’ request for an exclusive window to finalize the bid was denied, so the actor’s side withdrew from the process. The deadline for final bids is May 15. Media reported that Reynolds and Remington Group are willing to spend one billion dollars to acquire the team.
Earlier, American rapper Snoop Dogg joined the bid of entrepreneur Neko Sparks to buy the club from Canada. Also, singer Abel Makkonen, better known by his alias The Weeknd, will also bid for the acquisition of “Ottawa” together with billionaires Jeffrey and Michael Kimel of Harlo Capital Group.
