Wrexham AFC, fresh off their third consecutive promotion and preparing for life in the Championship, has reportedly been given the green light to complete a significant transfer. This comes on the heels of a £40 million agreement reached by Liverpool for Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez.
The deal for Kerkez, who is set to undergo a medical today, is seen as a crucial step for Liverpool in solidifying their defensive options, particularly with speculation surrounding Andy Robertson’s future. The acquisition of Kerkez by the Premier League giants appears to have opened the door for Wrexham to pursue Liverpool’s highly-rated young left-back, Owen Beck, on a season-long loan.
Beck, a 22-year-old Wrexham native and great-nephew of Liverpool legend Ian Rush, impressed during his loan spell at Blackburn Rovers in the Championship last season before an injury curtailed his progress. His potential move to the Racecourse Ground would provide Wrexham with a significant boost in their defensive ranks as they aim to compete in England’s second tier.
While the £40 million figure refers to Liverpool’s agreement for Kerkez, it’s the indirect impact of that deal that benefits Wrexham. With Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at the helm, Wrexham has made it clear they intend to be aggressive in the transfer market, seeking to add quality and experience to their squad as they embark on their Championship journey. The potential arrival of Owen Beck would be a strong statement of intent from the Red Dragons
