Talovierov is said to be seriously considering leaving Plymouth, as his contract reportedly has a relegation termination clause.
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said, after the club’s promotion win over Charlton Athletic, that next season in the Championship will be a “huge” challenge.
However, he promised his fans that they will do their best to “build a team that can be competitive.”
“We have a lot of work to do this summer because we know we are entering a big division in terms of the size of the clubs,” Parkinson told the BBC.
“We’ll take a week or two to take a position on everything, look closely at the market out there and what we need to do.”
When asked to assess Wrexham’s chances of reaching the Premier League, after securing three consecutive promotions, Parkinson said: “I’ll answer that question in August, at the end of the summer transfer window, and see what the team looks like.”
He continued, “We haven’t talked about anything in terms of recruitment.
“Agents, of course, call all the time, and I’ve said, ‘We’re not looking at recruitment until the end of the season’… Because when you start talking to players at this stage, it can destabilize your own dressing room.”
