The 2025 summer transfer window opens in nine days, and Wrexham are expected to be busy.
Thanks to the Club World Cup, the summer transfer window dates have been changed this year.
It will open on June 1 until June 10 before closing for a brief period and then reopening from the 16th of the month to September 1.
Wrexham could have £40m to spend and have already been linked with a lot of players.
With this in mind, we have rounded up all the latest transfer news and rumours from the club this week.

Wrexham transfer target release confirmed
Wrexham have been linked with Tom Lawrence for some time now and have been handed a boost on that front this week.
He is an experienced midfielder who has played in Europe and offers a solid goal threat.
Rangers have now confirmed Lawrence will leave the club when his contract officially expires on June 30.
Phil Parkinson hints at Premier League transfers
As the club continue to rise up the English football pyramid, the type of player they are targeting is changing.
This week, Phil Parkinson seemed to hint that Wrexham could sign Premier League players, mentioning how their season was still ongoing when discussing potential incomings.
He said: “We have had talks with players but at this stage, it is about assessing the market and what is out there, and making sure clubs are aware of our interest in certain players, and agents know what positions we feel we need to look to strengthen.
“As the summer goes on, hopefully we get the best players to make us a competitive squad for next season.”

Wrexham face competition for transfer targets
Now the club are being linked with some much bigger names, the competition they are facing is much greater.
It emerged earlier in the week that Valencia are interested in Lewis O’Brien, who is thought to be a target of the Welsh side.
Then, on Thursday, it was reported that Valencia want Jamie Vardy, who has been linked to Wrexham since he announced he’d be leaving Leicester City.
Players set to leave Wrexham
Ahead of 2025/26 getting underway, the North American-backed club have 27 players aged 21 or above under contract.
Championship rules only allow 25 players (including goalkeepers) to be registered, and as a result, exits are likely.
Parkinson commented on players leaving Wrexham this week, saying: “It goes without saying that as the summer and pre-season progresses, there are players who will want a move themselves.
“A little bit similar to Sam Dalby and Jordan Davies’ situation last year.
“As much as the lads love being at Wrexham, there are players who haven’t figured as much this season who will be thinking ‘for my own career, I need to get playing again’.
“Sam is a great example of that, he did really well on loan at Dundee United.
“Obviously players are going to be leaving because we need to make space to bring in additions to make us competitive.”
