Wrexham shopping in Premier League market? Transfer hint as Phil Parkinson reveals talks have already been held with potential targets

The Red Dragons are, courtesy of a historic run that has delivered three successive promotions, just one step away from reaching the top-flight. Plans are being drawn up for life in the Championship.

Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney continue to chase the dream and will - with further investment being invited - help to make the funds available that allow Parkinson to further bolster his ranks.

Recruitment discussions have been held before and after promotion parties in Las Vegas and Dubai, with Wrexham looking to move quickly in a bid to get bodies on board before a pre-season trip to Australia and New Zealand is enjoyed.

Parkinson has said of getting that ball rolling: “When the dust settles on a season, you have got to look at the squad going forward. We have been able to sit down as staff and assess what we feel we are going to need going forward. We are just in the normal process for this stage of the summer.

“We have had talks with players but at this stage, it is about assessing the market and what is out there, and making sure clubs are aware of our interest in certain players, and agents know what positions we feel we need to look to strengthen. As the summer goes on, hopefully we get the best players to make us a competitive squad for next season.”

Wrexham’s manager added, with the Welsh outfit already being linked with a number of players that boast top tier experience: “We are just assessing the situation of what is out there. The play-offs are still going on and the Premier League season has still got another game to go so there is quite a lot of sorting out to do at several clubs.

“But I feel we are in a good position and we have got our eye on a lot of situations out there. Hopefully we will make some good additions which can keep improving the squad like we have done each year in the past.”

Wrexham will discover their schedule for 2025-26 on June 26, with the countdown on to fixture release day. It remains to be seen how many comings and goings will have been overseen by that point.
