Wrexham Weigh Backup Plan as £7.5m Broadhead Move Falters

Wrexham hold nearly half of their £20m summer budget, awaiting Ipswich’s response to a club-record £7.5m bid.

Overview

  • Wrexham have invested £11.1m in eight summer signings, including record fees for Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis O’Brien and Empoli left-back Liberato Cacace.
  • Negotiations for former academy player Nathan Broadhead’s £7.5m transfer remain unresolved, leading Wrexham to pursue Barnsley forward Davis Keillor-Dunn as an alternative.
  • With approximately £8.9m still available of their £20m summer budget, the club retains flexibility to reinforce key positions before the window closes.
  • Structural upgrades at the Racecourse Ground are under way, featuring a £1.7m hybrid pitch with undersoil heating and a new 7,750-seat Kop stand to satisfy FIFA and UEFA requirements.
  • Manager Phil Parkinson said balancing continuity with promotion-winning players and Championship-standard recruits is crucial to sustain the club’s rapid ascent.
