Wrexham join race for Premier League midfielder linked with Birmingham City transfer

Wrexham have reportedly entered the race to sign highly-rated Colombian midfielder Jhon Solís, placing them alongside Birmingham City in what could become one of the Championship’s most intriguing transfer battles this summer.

The 21-year-old enjoyed an impressive loan spell in England last season, attracting attention with a series of mature performances in midfield. Solís, who is contracted to Spanish side Girona, has emerged as one of the most sought-after young midfielders available in the Championship market.

Birmingham City have long been admirers of the Colombian and were believed to be leading the race for his signature after a successful loan stint under Chris Davies. Reports earlier this week suggested the Blues had moved to secure a permanent deal worth around €7 million before rival clubs could intervene.

However, newly-promoted Wrexham are understood to be monitoring the situation closely. The Welsh club have shown significant ambition since reaching the Championship and are eager to add youthful quality to a squad that already contains a blend of experience and proven second-tier talent.

Solís is regarded as an energetic box-to-box midfielder capable of operating both defensively and offensively. His composure in possession, physical presence, and ability to break up play have made him a standout performer, with several clubs believing he has the potential to develop into a Premier League-level midfielder.

Wrexham’s recruitment team view the Colombian as a player who could significantly strengthen their midfield options as they prepare for life in the Championship. Meanwhile, Birmingham remain determined to complete a deal and fend off growing competition.

While the Blues are still considered favourites due to Solís’ successful spell at St Andrew’s last season, Wrexham’s interest adds another twist to a transfer story that could gather pace in the coming days.

With Girona expected to make a final decision soon, both clubs will be hoping to secure one of the Championship’s most exciting young midfield talents before pre-season preparations begin in earnest.
