The club is expected to strengthen their squad after historic promotion to the Championship – and now there are points to a potential record transfer.
Third promotion in a row
Wrexham made history on Saturday when they secured their third promotion in as many years. After 15 seasons at the lower level, they won the National League in 2023, were promoted to League One the following year, and have now qualified for the Championship after a 3-0 win over Charlton at SToK Racecourse.

With owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney behind them, the club is one year ahead of its original plan. But in order to compete in England’s second-highest division, reinforcements are needed.
Then it is good that Wrexham gets extra income from the TV series Welcome to Wrexham, which will soon be released with a new season.
Sterling as a shock candidate
While rumours are linking Jamie Vardy to the club following his Leicester exit, world champion Emmanuel Petit has suggested an even more spectacular name: Raheem Sterling.

The former Arsenal and Chelsea player stated to BesteOnlineCasinoNederland:
- “Chelsea will probably let Sterling go with just one year left on his contract. The challenge for Wrexham will be the salary – he probably earns over £300,000 a week. Ryan Reynolds has to get out his checkbook to make this happen.”
Petit added:
- “It would be interesting to see, but we all know that he is not the same player as before in the Premier League.”
Pay shock in store
According to reports, Wrexham’s current highest-paid player, Jay Rodriguez, earns £15,000 a week – just 5% of Sterling’s current salary. In comparison, Leeds United (who were promoted to the Premier League) have their two highest-paid players at £70,000 and £60,000 weekly.
Such a transition would:
- Revolutionizing Wrexham’s wage structure
- Be the greatest signing in Championship history
- Send a strong signal about the club’s ambitions
With four games left in the season, Wrexham are in 2nd place in League One – just one point behind Portsmouth.
