Wrexham are interested in snapping up Blackburn Rovers captain Lewis Travis as Phil Parkinson looks to boost his engine room.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wrexham<\/a> are being linked with players left, right and centre, but Phil Parkinson<\/a> is yet to make a first summer signing.<\/p>\n

Midfielders have been prominently linked with Wrexham, although we have mostly seen left-footed players touted for moves to the ST\u014dK Cae Ras<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tom Cairney is weighing up a move to Wrexham<\/a> and Lewis O\u2019Brien is on Parkinson\u2019s radar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wrexham\u2019s rumoured interest in Charlie Savage<\/a> only adds to the idea that Parkinson is focused on adding balance to his engine room with a left-footer.<\/p>\n

A right-footed midfielder is becoming a key target, though, as Wrexham are eyeing Blackburn Rovers captain Lewis Travis.<\/p>\n

The Wrexham Insider understands Wrexham are interested in a move to bring Travis<\/a> to North Wales.<\/p>\n

Travis helped Ipswich Town win promotion to the Premier League in 2024, having joined Kieran McKenna\u2019s side on loan.<\/p>\n

The former Liverpool trainee is a battle-tested Championship midfielder and a brilliant leader in the middle of the park.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to see why Parkinson wants to add Travis and his battling qualities at Wrexham, and The Lancashire Telegraph<\/a> now back up Wrexham\u2019s interest.<\/p>\n

Intriguingly, it\u2019s suggested that Rovers are yet to offer Travis a new contract despite Wrexham\u2019s interest.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old is out of contract in 2026, meaning Rovers are in danger of seeing him leave for nothing in just 12 months.<\/p>\n

Travis is thought to be one of Blackburn\u2019s top earners and is \u2018open\u2019 to staying at Ewood Park on a new contract.<\/p>\n

Right now, though, Rovers have not put an offer on the table \u2013 and that will only serve to encourage Wrexham over a summer move.<\/p>\n

Watch out for Sheffield United<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wrexham are certainly the strongest suitor for Travis as things stand, but The Lancashire Telegraph highlight that Sheffield United were very interested last summer.<\/p>\n

Chris Wilder\u2019s side just missed out on promotion to the Premier League, losing to Sunderland in the Championship play-off final.<\/p>\n

The Blades will look to mount another promotion push next season, but Wilder will be seeking new signings to aid his cause.<\/p>\n

A battling midfielder such as Travis is sure to still be on his radar, and Wrexham may face competition from Sheffield United as a result.<\/p>\n

Top-end Championship clubs will be watching Travis and his contract situation very closely, but Wrexham will have a genuine chance to win this race with an opportunity to play a key role in the rise under Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds up for grabs.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wrexham are interested in snapping up Blackburn Rovers captain Lewis Travis as Phil Parkinson looks to boost his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172554,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[94,71688,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-172553","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-lewis-travis","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114658282473199357","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172553\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
