Wrexham AFC Pull Off Stunning Coup with Casemiro Signing on Free Transfer
In a jaw-dropping move that has sent shockwaves across the footballing world, Wrexham AFC have confirmed the signing of Casemiro, the five-time UEFA Champions League winner, on a free transfer from Manchester United. The 32-year-old Brazilian midfielder has agreed to a two-year deal with the newly promoted League One side, in what many are calling the most audacious lower-league signing in modern English football history.
Casemiro, a cornerstone of Real Madrid’s midfield dynasty before moving to Manchester United in 2022, brings unparalleled pedigree and leadership to Wrexham. Despite a promising debut season at Old Trafford—including a Carabao Cup win and consistent performances—his role diminished under Erik ten Hag during the 2024–25 campaign, leading to a mutual agreement to part ways.
Wrexham’s Hollywood owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have once again flexed their star power and ambition, luring a player with 20 major trophies to a club only recently promoted to League One. Casemiro reportedly turned down offers from Saudi Arabia and MLS in favor of what he called a “unique and ambitious project” in North Wales.
“Football is about stories,” Casemiro said in his unveiling. “Wrexham is writing one of the most exciting stories in the game right now. I want to be part of it.”
Manager Phil Parkinson described the transfer as “transformational,” citing Casemiro’s experience, winning mentality, and tactical intelligence as critical assets for their push toward the Championship.
This move follows Wrexham’s pattern of recruiting seasoned international talent to support their meteoric rise through the English football pyramid. With Casemiro anchoring the midfield, promotion ambitions have turned into serious expectations. One thing is certain: Wrexham aren’t just dreaming big—they’re living it.
