In a stunning transfer saga heating up the Championship and League One divide, Wrexham AFC are on the verge of snatching Spanish sensation Iván Azón from under Ipswich Town’s nose. Fabrizio Romano’s iconic “Here We Go” tweet has sent shockwaves through the football world, confirming Wrexham’s advanced talks with Real Zaragoza to secure the 22-year-old striker imminently—potentially before the January window even opens.
Ipswich, flying high in the Premier League promotion hunt after last season’s playoff heroics, had eyed Azón as their marquee winter signing. The 6’3″ forward boasts an impressive record: 15 goals and 5 assists in 38 appearances for Zaragoza this campaign, blending physicality with silky finishing that evokes a young Álvaro Morata. Scouts praised his aerial dominance and hold-up play, perfect for Kieran McKenna’s high-pressing Tractor Boys. Yet, Wrexham’s Hollywood-backed ambition, fueled by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, has trumped the Suffolk side’s bid.
Sources reveal Wrexham offered a club-record £3.5 million fee, plus add-ons, outbidding Ipswich’s £2.8 million proposal. Azón, out of contract in 2026, favors the Red Dragons’ rapid ascent—two promotions in two years under Phil Parkinson—and the promise of starring in Netflix’s next “Welcome to Wrexham” chapter. For Ipswich, it’s a blow to their survival push; manager McKenna now scrambles for alternatives like Millwall’s Macaulay Langstaff.
This audacious hijack underscores Wrexham’s transformation from underdogs to predators. As Azón nears a medical, Ipswich fans fume while Wrexham supporters dream of League One glory. Transfer deadline drama just got spicier.
