Wrexham CEO Michael Williamson is burning the midnight oil Down Under as the Red Dragons are working aggressively behind the scenes to build a super-squad ahead of plying their trade in the Championship. Currently on tour in Oceania, the Welsh side have already made headlines with their pre-season outings, but the more significant action may be happening off the pitch, particularly in hotel rooms, meeting rooms and late-night phone calls.
Wrexham are on the verge of completing a record-breaking €2.5 million (£2.16m) deal for New Zealand international Liberato Cacace, with co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney green-lighting the ambitious move. The Empoli left-back is set to become the club’s most expensive signing, surpassing the £2 million the Red Dragons paid for Sam Smith in January.
Wrexham are looking to bolster their defensive ranks for the Championship with two signings, including a £3 million move for Hull City man Alfie Jones.
Wrexham are reportedly set to seal a permanent transfer for New Zealand international Liberato Cacace from relegated Serie A side Empoli. The versatile defender is expected to move to the Welsh side for a base fee of €2.5 million (£2m/$3m), with additional bonuses attached, as revealed by Gianluca di Marzio.
Former Wrexham goalkeeper Ben Foster has spoken highly of the club's Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, crediting them for making the Red Dragons "shinier" without losing their "essence". Foster played for Wrexham across two different spells, with his first stint coming back in 2005 when he joined the club from Stoke City on a loan deal.
Wrexham’s ambitious bid to lure Fulham captain Tom Cairney has fallen short, with the veteran midfielder committing to another year at Craven Cottage. Despite interest from Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s club, the 34-year-old has signed a contract extension that will keep him in the Premier League until next summer.
Paul Mullin revealed his pick with an epic answer when he was quizzed on who would win in a fight between Wrexham co-owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. After an underwhelming season with the Red Dragons, the striker has found a new home in Wigan Athletic but his eyes lit up again when he faced a question that involved his former employers.
