How much Wrexham paid for every player in summer 2024 transfer window revealed
Wrexham had a very busy 2024 summer transfer window with Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds paying out some big fees.
After securing promotion to League One for the first time, Phil Parkinson needed to strengthen his first-team squad a fair bit over the summer.
Okonkwo has been backed to go to the top with Wrexham and has already taken to League One football with some excellent displays this season.
The shot-stopper was not the only free addition this summer, with Dobson and Burton also costing the Welsh outfit nothing.
Wrexham smash transfer record twice
Wrexham did also spend some big money during the summer, however, with the club’s transfer record broken twice.
Ollie Rathbone left Rotherham for Wrexham earlier this month, completing a £500,000 switch in what was, for a small time, a club-record deal for Parkinson’s side.
However, that record stood for just a couple of weeks as Faal’s £590,000 move from West Brom, as per Transfermarkt, is now Wrexham’s most expensive signing ever.
Big things are expected of Faal at his new club, having previously been dubbed ‘unplayable’ by Grant McCann late last year, as per the Birmingham Mail.
He said: “He is going to be a top player, we can see that. We are fortunate we have got him on his first EFL loan, but I think, give him two or three years, the lad is going to be unplayable.
“We were talking about how it would be great to have him for the next two or three years, but unfortunately he is not our player.”
As for Wrexham’s reaming transfers, Scarr set them back around £300,000, Revan cost £350,000 from Aston Villa and Brunt’s fee is still undisclosed but unconfirmed reports peg it at around £400,000.
Five best players Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds failed to sign for Wrexham this summer
Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds should be happy with their summer business but some big names slipped through the net at Wrexham.
It has been a productive summer for Wrexham, who are now playing in League One for the first time in their history.
The club have spent big money and smashed their transfer record twice to ensure Phil Parkinson has a good enough squad to compete in the third tier of English football.
Wrexham paid £500,000 for Ollie Rathbone earlier in August to break their record for the first time.
But Wrexham confirmed the signing of West Bromwich Albion striker Modou Faal on deadline day for a new club-record fee of £590,000.
