Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's Wrexham reportedly targeting CF Montreal forward Sunusi Ibrahim after earning Championship promotion

AFC Wrexham are reportedly leading the race for CF Montreal forward Sunusi Ibrahim following their promotion to the English Championship this season. The Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-owned club is targeting the Nigerian striker ahead of a big summer, where it is bolstering its roster.

GIVEMESPORT reports that CF MTL value the Nigerian at $300-500k, while several clubs are reportedly interested in his services.

Ibrahim, 22, has been with the Canadian side since the 2021 MLS campaign. Signed on a U-22 initiative contract, he has 13 goals in 89 career appearances for the club. In 2024, he scored six goals in less than 1,000 minutes for the club - though he has barely played in 2025, making just seven appearances across 50 total minutes played.

Wrexham recently earned their third-consecutive promotion within the English football pyramid, and will compete in the English Championship in the 2025-26 season - England's second division.

Ibrahim had a base salary of $350,000 in 2024, with a guaranteed compensation of $410,000.
