Championship Net Spend 2025-26: Wrexham’s £19m Deal

Championship spending has gone through the roof in recent seasons and Wrexham, having climbed through the footballing ladder of late, are one of the leaders on that front.

Reports at present suggest they are in the race for Angers forward Sidiki Cherif.



They are said to have opened talks with the French club over the possibility of signing the striker, who is valued by his club at £19million.

That signing would break not only the Welsh club’s transfer record, but the record for the Championship itself.

That would have a huge impact on the net spend of the club who are already the biggest spenders in the second tier.
