Overview

• Wrexham have initiated discussions to sign Fulham captain Tom Cairney, with the potential deal set to break the club's transfer record of £2 million.
• Cairney, 34, has played 27 matches this season, including 23 in the Premier League, and brings extensive experience with 412 career top-flight appearances.
• The move aligns with Wrexham's strategy under manager Phil Parkinson to recruit seasoned players, following the signings of veterans like James McClean and Jay Rodriguez.
• The club's rise from non-league football to the Championship in just three years has been fueled by investment from Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, as well as global exposure from the Disney+ series 'Welcome to Wrexham.'
• If signed, Cairney would bolster Wrexham's midfield with his leadership and promotion experience, having twice helped Fulham ascend from the Championship.
