<p><em></em><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14915993/Wrexham-bid-Championship-star.html" target="_blank"><em>Mail Online</em></a> report Wrexham are readying a move for 27-year-old Jones, who has also attracted interest from Middlesborough. The Hollywood-owned Welsh outfit are preparing a £3 million (€3.5m/$4m) offer for Hull's 2023 Player of the Year. Meanwhile, a £2.5m (€2.9m/$3.4m) deal for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-break-transfer-record-again-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-agree-big-money-deal-for-defender-serie-a-club/blt69bb5a32e83faf2d" target="_blank">New Zealand international Liberato Cacace</a> from relegated Serie A side Empoli is also under discussion.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>A move for Jones could be significant not only in how he could improve Wrexham, but in how a deal would also weaken a potential relegation rival. Hull are under a transfer embargo and could be dragged deep into trouble in 2025-26, having only just stayed up last season. Newly-promoted Wrexham will know that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-warned-enormous-ask-wrexham-compete-top-end-championship-more-realistic-goal-outlined/bltc5487c182c21f887" target="_blank">Championship survival is the primary objective</a> before they begin to aim higher.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Despite Wrexham's well-known riches and Hollywood backing by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, their transfer business has been relatively quiet so far this summer <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-transfers-2025-26/bltb8f22a840b306f75#cs0eadc87535a07e07" target="_blank">with just two incomings.</a> Ryan Hardie has signed from Plymouth Argyle, while goalkeeper Danny Ward has arrived on a free transfer from Leicester City. Potential moves for defensive pairing Jones and Cacace would both break Wrexham's record transfer fee.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The Red Dragons have been linked with big-name players across the transfer window and it will be intriguing to see which ambitious moves the club attempt to make before the end of the summer. They begin their first campaign in the second tier for 43 years with a tough trip to Southampton on August 9, before they face Jones' current employers the Tigers in the Carabao Cup three days later.</p>
