Wrexham interested in signing £3.64m-a-year player, Jamie Vardy could play key role in transfer
Jamie Vardy could have a role to play in Wrexham landing one player in the summer transfer window.
Since announcing his impending exit from Leicester City, Jamie Vardy has been linked to Wrexham.
The Englishman has a wealth of experience in the top tier tiers of English football but a transfer to the Racecourse is looking unlikely.
Ben Foster does not think Vardy will sign for Wrexham, instead touting a move to the MLS or another Premier League club.
Despite his age, the Leicester icon is still in top form, sitting as Leicester’s top scorer in 2024/25.
Phil Parkinson played down Vardy transfer talk earlier this week as well, but the club are now being linked with a another striker and the former England international could have a role to play.
Jamie Vardy could have role in Wrexham signing Patrick Bamford
During the 2025 winter transfer window, the Welsh outfit were linked to a number of Leeds United players.
Wrexham were interested in Joe Gelhardt, who instead opted to join Hull City on loan for the remainder of the campaign.
Meanwhile, rumours of Patrick Bamford joining the Hollywood-backed side began to emerge.
No move came to pass, but a report from TEAMtalk this week suggests it could be on the cards this summer.
They claim that Wrexham are interested in Bamford and that his departure from Elland Road could allow Leeds to sign Vardy on a free.
One of the main issues with Bamford’s links to Wrexham in January was his pretty large wage.
Caplogy claim the forward takes home £70,000-a-week or £3,640,000 a year on his current contract.
Such figures were well out of the Red Dragons’ reach previously, but promotion to the Championship should change that.
Wrexham will quadruple their wage bill in 2025/26 after moving up to the second tier.
For context, it stood at just over £11m in the 2023/24 League Two season, meaning it could now move to over £44m in the forthcoming campaign.
