Wrexham are in talks with former Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen about a potential summer transfer.

The 33-year-old is a free agent following the expiry of his Red Devils contract at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.

Eriksen’s agent, Martin Schoots, has revealed that the Welsh outfit have been in contact about a possible deal following their promotion to the Championship.

The Denmark international would prefer to play with a top-flight club, whether that be in England or elsewhere, but Sky Sports News claim he is “impressed” by the pitch made by Wrexham and their ambition.

“Wrexham are really upgrading everything both on and off the field, and it is a hugely impressive project, as you can see from the presence of people like (chief executive) Michael Williamson there,” Schoots told the Daily Mail.

“But Christian still wants to play in a first-tier competition and he absolutely wants to stay in Western Europe. There are some contacts going on but it has to suit both sides.” 

Under the stewardship of co-owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, Wrexham have experienced a phenomenal rise since 2020. They have won three successive promotions to take them from the National League to the Championship. Next season will be their first appearance in the second tier since 1982.

Eriksen, who registered one goal and two assists in 23 Premier League appearances for Man Utd last season, would be arguably the biggest signing in the club’s history if they manage to pull it off.

The creative midfielder first arrived in the UK in 2013, joining Tottenham Hotspur from Ajax for an £11 million transfer. He went on to make 305 appearances in all competitions over the next six-and-a-half years, helping Spurs reach the UEFA Champions League final in 2019.

In January 2020, Eriksen moved to Inter Milan, whom he helped reach the UEFA Europa League in his first season. The Nerazzurri won the Scudetto the following year. After suffering a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, which was held in 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, he was not permitted to play in Serie A due to the presence of a defibrillator he had implanted.

Eriksen made his return in January 2022, joining Brentford as a free agent. He then went on to join Man Utd on another free transfer, winning the FA Cup and League Cup during his three-year stint at Old Trafford.
