Wrexham 'open transfer talks' with Premier League giants as price tag revealed

Wrexham are set to open talks with a Premier League club over a stunning transfer as they aim to achieve promotion from the Championship.

Wrexham have mounted a Premier League charge as they aim to secure their latest promotion this season.

Phil Parkinson's team have won back-to-back league games, including a seismic 5-3 victory over Ipswich Town last weekend.

They are currently sixth in the Championship, with 54 points on the board ahead of resuming their campaign at Charlton Athletic on Saturday.

Wrexham splashed the cash last summer, signing the likes of Nathan Broadhead and Callum Doyle and recruited further during the winter transfer window, having snapped up Zak Vyner from play-off rivals Bristol City, as well as David Keillor-Dunn and Bailey Cadamarteri from Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday respectively.

Even though the window is closed, the Welsh side plan to hold talks with Manchester City over a permanent signing.

According to Foot Africa, Wrexham have 'scheduled' talks with Man City for Issa Kabore, who is on loan at the club.

Kabore joined Wrexham on loan from Man City at the start of the season and has made 18 league appearances in the 2025/26 campaign, including 17 starts.

The Burkina Faso international has impressed during his loan spell, with Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac determined to seal his services on a permanent deal.

How much do Manchester City want from Wrexham for Issa Kabore?

Wrexham want to sign Kabore on a full-time basis following his loan spell this season.

Man City signed the 24-year-old from Belgian side Mechelen in July 2020, but he has yet to play a single senior game for the club.

He's enjoyed several loan spells away from the Etihad, including Marseille, Benfica and Luton Town, who had him when they were in the Premier League.

Per the report, Man City are seeking a fee between £1.5 million and £3 million for Kabore.

The right-back is set to enter the final year of his existing deal, with Man City open to the idea of cashing in on him to avoid a free transfer scenario.
