Wrexham AFC have reportedly made a bold call regarding Manchester City loanee Issa Kaboré, and it’s a decision that has turned plenty of heads across the football world. The Welsh club, co-owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, are said to have decided not to pursue a permanent deal for the talented right-back — at least for now — after being informed of his soaring market value.
Kaboré, who joined Wrexham on loan this season, has impressed fans with his blistering pace, defensive awareness, and attacking flair down the flanks. His performances have been so consistent that his estimated transfer value has reportedly skyrocketed to over £15 million, putting him well beyond Wrexham’s current financial reach.
Sources close to the club suggest that while Phil Parkinson remains a huge admirer of the 23-year-old, the board believes the focus should shift toward long-term squad stability rather than breaking their wage structure for a single signing.
Despite the decision, fans remain hopeful that Kaboré could still play a key role in Wrexham’s push for promotion before returning to Manchester City at the end of the season. Many believe his time in Wales has already raised his stock and showcased Wrexham’s growing ambition in the football world.
For now, the message is clear: Wrexham may not keep Issa Kaboré permanently, but his impact — both on and off the pitch — has been nothing short of electrifying.
