Wrexham could break their club transfer record as they look to sign a star captain from their Championship rivals.

Wrexham are in the market for new talent this summer, having secured promotion to the Championship last season.

The Welsh outfit, backed by Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have yet to announce a new signing ahead of their Championship campaign next season.

But the club have been linked with several high-profile players, including a Manchester United star.

Not to mention Aaron Cresswell, Ben Davies and Tom Cairney, who all have Premier League experience.

Wrexham also have players who have Championship experience on their radar.

And, according to Alan Nixon, Wrexham want to sign Blackburn Rovers captain Lewis Travis.

A deal would cost around £2 million, which could rival their club-record £2 million sum that they paid to Reading to sign striker Sam Smith in January.

Travis, 27, had a spell in Liverpool's youth academy before graduating from Blackburn's set-up.

Other than a brief loan spell with Ipswich Town, the midfielder has spent his entire career at Ewood Park.

Travis has played most of his professional career in England's second tier so he would add a wealth of experience to the Wrexham squad if he left signs for the club this summer.

Blackburn rejected a bid for Travis from Millwall in the summer of 2023 and they could be forced to take action once again if Reynolds and McElhenney come knocking.

Phil Parkinson, who has masterminded Wrexham's recent promotions, outlined his side's transfer plans ahead of next season.

"The loan market is something we are looking at," he told The Athletic. "It's all about touching base with the Premier League loans managers, making sure we have an understanding of who could become available.

"We can probably attract a better calibre of player than we'd have been able to do in the past. Premier League teams are reluctant to loan out their elite players into League One.

"It has to be a player you believe can make an instant impact and is going to make a significant contribution as the season goes on."
