Wrexham’s Wild January: Liverpool Legends Talk Amid Transfer Rush

The January 2026 transfer window is turning into a whirlwind for Wrexham. Co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney reportedly injected fresh funds, a “gift” they called it, to fuel the club’s Premier League promotion push. But it’s not just about money; whispers are getting louder, with some urging the club to target two Liverpool legends to really shake things up.

Reds’ Icons on Wrexham’s Radar?

Talk about ambition. A report, initially seen on Goal.com, suggested Wrexham should go after a pair of Liverpool icons. It’s a bold claim. Who these legends are, though, remains a mystery. No names have popped up yet.

This kind of speculation just shows how much buzz Wrexham creates now. The owners want Premier League football. And maybe they feel a big name, or two, could help get them there. It’s a busy time, with the transfer window closing on Monday evening.

Parkinson’s Pursuit: Eriksen, Striker, and a Departure

While legends are being talked about, Wrexham’s been busy with other targets too. Manager Phil Parkinson hasn’t been shy.

The club made a “shock approach” for Christian Eriksen, apparently. That’s a serious move, trying to land a player of his caliber. Parkinson even commented on it, sources say.

Wrexham’s also planning a £4 million bid for a Sheffield United striker. They need goals to keep that promotion bid alive. And it’s not just incomings. Former England international Conor Coady seems close to joining Charlton Athletic, according to reports floating around. So, there’s movement both ways for the Red Dragons.

Reynolds and McElhenney’s Financial Push

The co-owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, are putting their money where their mouths are. Their “gift” for the transfer activity during this January window is a clear sign.

They want to give Parkinson the tools he needs. It shows they’re committed. They aren’t just here for the documentary, you know?

This financial backing makes the talk of “Liverpool legends” a bit more believable, even if it’s still pure rumor. They’ve shown they’re willing to spend. And they’re pushing hard for that Premier League dream. They really want to make it happen, and soon.

This transfer period, running from January 27-28, is a high-stakes game. Wrexham’s trying to make moves. They need to get it right. With the window shutting soon, it’s going to be a frantic dash to the finish line. Every deal counts for their promotion hopes.
