Wrexham Given Huge Cash Injection Days After Launching Record Transfer Bid

Wrexham have received a huge cash injection amid their plot to launch a record transfer bid.

Wrexham, who have secured three consecutive promotions, are mounting their latest promotion charge as they aim to reach the Premier League.

They find themselves in sixth place after claiming a dramatic victory on Saturday, beating Queens Park Rangers 3-2.

Wrexham scored a dramatic last-gasp winner to bag all three points at Loftus Road to climb into the play-off places in the Championship table.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac plan to back manager Phil Parkinson during the winter transfer window as they look to reinforce Wrexham's squad ahead of the business end of the season.

With the transfer deadline (February 2) looming, the Welsh club are plotting a stunning bid for Sidiki Cherif, who plays his football in France with Ligue 1 side Angers.

According to Football Insider, Wrexham are preparing a Championship-record bid of £19 million to lure Cheriff away from France's top flight.

And they have been given a transfer boost in their attempts to bring Cheriff, who has scored four league goals this season, to England's second-tier.

Football finance specialist Kieran Maguire has taken to social media to reveal that Wrexham have issued one share worth £47.8 million, suggesting the club are working on 'player recruitment'.

On X, he shared two Companies House documents, accompanied with the caption: "Wrexham issue one share for £47.83 million ($64m). Given that investors also paid over £7m for a share in September 2025 and that the US holding company has over 4 million shares in the club already, this suggests it’s come from the current owners & is working capital for infrastructure costs & player recruitment."

Judging by Maguire's post, Wrexham are preparing for big-money signings before next Monday's transfer deadline.
