Wrexham found their new striker: Record-shattering transfer move
Wrexham is reportedly eyeing a staggering £10 million investment for a new striker, signaling their massive ambition for the 2025-26 Championship season. This record-shattering sum, fueled by owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, aims to propel the Welsh club to new heights in their return to English football's second tier.
Wrexham is reportedly preparing to make a colossal statement in the transfer market, with journalist Alan Nixon claiming the club has set aside a remarkable £10 million for a new striker this summer. This astonishing sum, equivalent to approximately €13.4 million or $11.5 million, dwarfs their recent club-record signing of New Zealand international Liberato Cacace, which was reported to be around £2.16 million (€2.5m/$3m).

The Welsh side, now back in the second tier of English football for the first time since the 1981-82 season, is looking to make a significant impact. While they don't yet have a specific target in mind, the financial backing from Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney highlights their determination to impress in the Championship.
Wrexham recently bid a temporary farewell to fan favorite Paul Mullin, who shouldered much of the goalscoring responsibility during their incredible run of three successive promotions. However, the club has already moved to strengthen their attacking options this summer with the arrival of Ryan Hardie from Plymouth.
In addition to attacking reinforcements, Danny Ward has also completed an emotional return to his boyhood club, joining on a free transfer after leaving Leicester. The squad still features experienced veterans like James McClean, Jay Rodriguez, and Matty James, all of whom have contracts set to expire in 2026, indicating a blend of experience and new ambition as Wrexham embarks on its Championship journey.
