Wrexham has begun discussions with Manchester City to permanently sign Issa Kaboré, a 24-year-old right-back from Burkina Faso who is currently on loan at the Welsh club. He has become a key player, providing four assists in 18 games. The defender has 52 caps and 2 goals for his country.
Internally at Wrexham, securing him is considered a strategic priority, and meetings between the clubs are scheduled for this week to progress the deal. Manchester City has loaned Kaboré out regularly in recent seasons and is reportedly asking for a fee between €2 million and €4 million. Wrexham is seriously considering this amount due to the player's impact. Kaboré has one year remaining on his contract with Manchester City. His valuation on Transfermarkt is currently €4 million. In July 2025, reports indicated Manchester City valued him at less than €11.5 million, and in January 2025, Galatasaray had reportedly allocated a budget of €6 million for his transfer.
