Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Wrexham and Manchester City have agreed terms on a deal rising to about £8m, with formal completion still to come.
  • City rebuffed a recent Wrexham enquiry of around £2m after earlier rejecting a £6.5m offer from Hoffenheim before moving to the higher agreement.
  • Doyle, 21, has over 100 Championship appearances from loans at Coventry, Leicester and Norwich, with promotions at Sunderland and Leicester and a Coventry play-off final.
  • The signing would be roughly Phil Parkinson’s 10th addition of the summer and would push Wrexham’s outlay past about £30m following the club-record Nathan Broadhead deal.
  • The sale would take City’s receipts from academy products to roughly £70m this summer, with Rangers and Sheffield United also previously linked with interest in Doyle.
