Wrexham AFC, have made an audacious approach to sign former Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen. As the club prepare for their first EFL Championship campaign in 43 years following three consecutive promotions, this potential transfer represents their boldest statement yet in their remarkable rise through English football’s ranks.
However, with Eriksen’s preference to continue playing in a top-flight league, the question remains: can Wrexham’s ambitious project convince a player of his calibre to join their fairy-tale journey?

What We Know
Reports surfaced in early June that Wrexham, fresh off their promotion from League One, were targeting Eriksen, whose contract with Manchester United expired at the end of June.
The rumour first gained traction through the Fearless in Devotion podcast, where host Tim revealed that manager Phil Parkinson was keen on bringing the 33-year-old Danish international to the Racecourse Ground. The interest was further confirmed by Mail Sport, reporting that Wrexham had made a formal approach to sign Eriksen, with his agent, Martin Schoots, acknowledging the club’s “hugely impressive project.”

Eriksen’s representative Martin Schoots told Mail Sport: ‘Wrexham are really upgrading everything both on and off the field, and it is a hugely impressive project, as you can see from the presence of people like Michael Williamson there.
‘But Christian still wants to play in a first-tier competition and he absolutely wants to stay in Western Europe. There are some contacts going on but it has to suit both sides.’
