Pavel Sulc rejects Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham after £35m bid | OneFootball

Lyon midfielder Pavel Sulc says he rejected a club-record £35 million move to Wrexham last month and has stayed with the Ligue 1 side on a deal running to June 2029.

The 25-year-old, last year's Czech Footballer of the Year, drew interest across the summer, with Leeds United, Everton, Aston Villa and Juventus all linked. Lyon were understood to want around £35 million and a transfer never materialised.

"Honestly? Wrexham is a cult club with a Hollywood fairytale story, but I didn't feel like going to the Championship or a small town in Wales." He told Seznam Zpravy.

"I hope that doesn't sound too condescending."

"Great club, fantastic history, beautiful stadium, Italy, big Czech footprint. That's something that my girlfriend Natali and I would definitely like a lot. If the clubs agreed, I certainly wouldn't be against it. But the offer wasn't high enough, so it was over."
