Wrexham are set to smash their record transfer for a third time this summer to sign a star player, according to stunning reports.
Wrexham have been active during the transfer window this summer as they prepare for life in the Championship after securing three consecutive promotions.
They have snapped up Danny Ward, Ryan Hardie, George Thomason, Josh Windass, Lewis O'Brien and Liberato Cacace, but the club will be forced to sell up to seven players to comply with EFL regulations.
Defender Cacace arrived from Empoli and while the fee has not been disclosed, Wrexham were understood to be prepared to push beyond the Sam Smith fee (around £2 million) to land the New Zealand international.

Broadhead, 27, was once in Wrexham's academy before coming through the ranks at Everton.
But he made just one Premier League appearance for the Toffees before signing for Ipswich in a transfer worth £1.5 million.
Broadhead played a key role in the club's back-to-back promotions but started just seven games last season.
The Welsh international, who has 14 caps to his name, is in the final year of his contract.

"Like I said, the landscape changes in the transfer market very quickly from one week to the next.
