Sergio Ramos

Starting with the most recent, former and forward Fernando Morientes has said that should move to Wrexham. The 39-year-old is currently plying his trade in Mexico with Monterrey in the Liga MX.

But would the ex-Los Blancos captain fancy a switch to North Wales? Morientes certainly seems to think so. Speaking to bet365, he said: "Could we see Sergio Ramos at Wrexham? Well, once you leave Real Madrid and that top media spotlight, you have a lot of choice.

"He chose, for example, to go to Sevilla because he's from Seville and he really wanted to go back. Then he left Seville and now he has decided to go to Mexico. I imagine it was a friendship with some of the directors.

"He wanted to live a different experience, and if the experience gives him the chance to be happy on a personal level, more than a sporting one. Go for it. If that's the case with Wrexham too, it'll probably be a good thing."

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

has been retired now since June 2023 but former Premier League striker Matt Jansen reckons Wrexham could The Swedish forward amassed over 570 goals for club and country during impressive career-spanning spells with giants such as and Inter Milan.

The four-time winner has since settled into the role of senior adviser at AC Milan. However, Jansen thinks Wrexham's financial power would tempt Ibrahimovic.

"It would probably suit Zlatan Ibrahimovic, although he retired," Jansen told FruityKing. "But money talks and they've certainly got it. It would be Hollywood and he'd enjoy it, wouldn't he?

"But it would certainly be that type, or a big target man like Chris Wood maybe, although he's not going to leave It would all depend on whether they could get the signings that they would need to challenge and whether those players would suit."

Jamie Vardy

Wrexham have also been linked with City striker on several occasions in the last few years. The 38-year-old is nearing the end of his career but reportedly has no plans of hanging up his boots just yet.

With his contract with the Foxes due to expire this summer, there is renewed speculation over whether Vardy might be Wrexham director Humphrey Ker previously addressed the rumours in an interview with last year.

He said: "There's nothing to say that Jamie Vardy wouldn't be a great Wrexham player. It's not a name I've had mentioned inside the building before but, you know, age and profile wouldn't put us off."

Cristiano Ronaldo image

Is no one safe from the crazy Wrexham transfer rumour mill? Last November, none other than was connected with a shock move to the club.

The Portuguese megastar currently plays for side Al-Nassr and has scored 96 goals for the club. While the former Real Madrid player is widely expected to extend his stay, ex-United coach Rene Meulensteen believes he could be convinced to play at the Racecourse Ground.

Meulensteen told TribalFootball.com: "Cristiano Ronaldo to Wrexham? Anything can happen in football. The main things he would consider are could he be successful in that environment and could he be a success there. It's an intriguing idea and with his new profile on social media it might help that stretch into Hollywood with the Ryan Reynolds connection."

Gareth Bale

Finally, here's a bonkers transfer target that Wrexham's co-owners actively tried to pursue in Ronaldo's old Real Madrid team-mate, Despite the Welsh icon retiring from football in January 2023, McElhenney has previously tried to get him to change his mind.

Posting on X in April of the same year, the Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator said: "Hey @GarethBale11 let's play where I totally won't spend 4 hours trying to convince you to un-retire for one last magical season."

McElhenney later as he said: " is still technically available! I don't know, I made the plea last year and I'm just going to tell Gareth that the offer's still on the table."

Unfortunately for Wrexham, Bale has poured cold water on the idea. When asked about the possibility of joining Phil Parkinson's side, he said: "No, I don't think so. I think I was looking more for a free round of off Rob. I'm sure we'll have a chat and a joke, but I'm quite happy where I am."
