Wrexham AFC are reportedly preparing to make history in the January transfer window by targeting a sensational £14 million move for a European striker, a deal that would shatter the club’s existing transfer record. According to journalist Alan Nixon, the ambitious Championship side are ready to go all-out for a prolific forward whose identity is being kept under wraps to avoid triggering a bidding war with Premier League clubs also interested in his services.
The proposed acquisition marks the latest example of Wrexham’s growing financial clout since Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took over the club. After an unprecedented rise through the English football pyramid — culminating in their return to the Championship — the Red Dragons have shown no hesitation in backing manager Phil Parkinson’s vision with significant transfer investment.
Wrexham’s current record signing in recent windows was forward Nathan Broadhead, signed for around £10m from Ipswich Town, illustrating the scale of the club’s progression in the market.
The potential £14m deal would not only eclipse that figure but also signal Wrexham’s intent to compete at a higher level, as they seek to strengthen their attacking options and bolster their push toward Premier League promotion.
The unnamed striker is believed to be a young rising talent, reportedly attracting interest from top-flight sides. Wrexham’s willingness to include a generous promotion bonus in their bid further underscores their determination to secure his signature and accelerate their meteoric rise in English football.
