Town Still to Accept Broadhead Bid - Ipswich Town News

Town are still to accept a bid from Championship new boys Wrexham for Wales international Nathan Broadhead, TWTD understands.

Yesterday, it emerged that the Red Dragons had made an approach to the Blues for the Wales international, who was left out of the squad for the friendly against Charlton at Colchester last night, and it was subsequently reported that a £7.5 million deal had been agreed.

However, we understand the offer is yet to be accepted with the Blues still not actively looking to sell the 27-year-old, who played a big role in the back-to-back promotions from League One and the Championship following a £1.5 million January 2023 move from Everton.

Rumours of Wrexham interest in Broadhead have been circulating all close season with the Bangor-born attacker having been in and out of the Town side last season in the Premier League.

If the move eventually does go through, Broadhead would become Wrexham’s biggest ever signing, beating the £5 million recently paid to Nottingham Forest for Lewis O’Brien.

Last summer, Broadhead was close to returning to former loan club Sunderland on the same basis on deadline day but the Blues’ move to sign Reiss Nelson on loan from Arsenal broke down and he remained at Portman Road.

The North Wales club are also understood to be looking to sign ex-Blues striker Kieffer Moore from Sheffield United for £4 million.
