Wrexham eager to bring in Man City starlet's brother but Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's side face stiff competition from Wayne Rooney's Plymouth

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are leaving no stone unturned in their bid to build a competitive side as they are ambitiously gearing up to continue their rise through the English football divisions. According to HITC, their latest target is John McAtee, brother of Manchester City’s promising talent James McAtee. However, Wrexham face significant competition from Plymouth Argyle, now managed by Wayne Rooney.

John had shone brightly against Wrexham in previous encounters, especially when he played a crucial role in Grimsby Town’s play-off triumph over the Red Dragons. During his loan spell at Barnsley in the previous season he notched up 20 goal contributions which has helped him catch the attention of various suitors.

After a notable season, McAtee is back at Luton Town and the Championship club is ready to cash in on the surge in interest. Apart from Wrexham and Plymouth, Blackburn Rovers, Millwall, Derby County, Portsmouth, and Bolton are also reportedly keen on securing the attacking midfielder's services, making the competition for his signature even more intense.

For Wrexham, McAtee’s acquisition would be a statement of intent, reinforcing their ambitions under the leadership of the Hollywood co-owners. However, it remains to be seen, if they are willing to flex their financial muscle to fend off competition for the 24-year-old.
