Wrexham AFC’s transfer consultant, Les Reed, has ruled out moves for Premier League megastars Kevin De Bruyne and Jamie Vardy.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Owned by actor duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Wrexham are one of the most exciting clubs in English football. In the last four years, the Welsh side has seen a rapid rise to relevancy. Clinching promotions on the bounce, they have gone from being a non-league side to qualifying for the Championship.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the 2025\/26 Championship campaign, Wrexham are expected to make some big signings. There are talks of some Premier League talent heading to the SToK Racecourse. However, household names like Vardy and De Bruyne are supposedly out of reach.<\/p>\n

Wrexham AFC: Les Reed Forced to Rule Out Kevin De Bruyne Transfer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Both Jamie Vardy and Kevin De Bruyne will become free agents this summer, having bid their goodbyes to Leicester City<\/a> and Manchester City, respectively.<\/p>\n

Some reports have credited Wrexham with an interest in De Bruyne and Vardy. Transfer chief Les Reed, however, has bluntly ruled out a move for either of the Premier League legends.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The i Paper, he said:<\/p>\n

“Let\u2019s take Jamie Vardy. Everyone thinks he\u2019s out of contract, there\u2019s no transfer fee, Wrexham could do that. You\u2019re talking about players who are on \u00a3140,000-a-week. We are a million miles away from that because we don\u2019t get Premier League revenues or broadcasting money.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I think we were linked with Kevin De Bruyne at one stage! There is a certain level of Premier League players who, if they are on \u00a3100k to 150k-a-week, are still going to get close to that if they move to the MLS or Saudi Arabia than if they go to Wrexham.<\/em>”<\/p>\n
