**Wrexham AFC Set to Smash Transfer Record with Signing of New Zealand International Liberato Cacace**
**Wrexham, Wales** – Wrexham AFC are on the verge of completing a major coup, securing the signature of New Zealand international Liberato Cacace from Italian side Empoli. The transfer, reported to be in the region of £2.2 million, potentially rising to £2.6 million with add-ons, would represent a new club record for the Red Dragons.
Cacace, a dynamic left-back known for his pace and attacking prowess, is expected to slot straight into Phil Parkinson’s starting eleven as a left wing-back. The signing signals Wrexham’s ambition as they prepare for their return to League One.
While the arrival of Cacace is undoubtedly exciting for Wrexham fans, it raises questions about the futures of existing players in that position, particularly Sebastian Revan. Revan, who joined Wrexham from Aston Villa last summer, struggled to break into the first team last season, largely due to the consistency of captain James McClean.
With Cacace’s arrival, Revan could find himself further down the pecking order. While Wrexham recognize Revan’s potential, a loan move to a League One club is now being considered to ensure the young player receives valuable playing time. This would allow him to continue his development and return to Wrexham ready to compete for a first-team place in the future.
“Sebastian [Revan] is a talented young player with a bright future,” a club source confirmed. “We believe a loan move to League One would be the best option for his development at this stage. He needs regular minutes, and we are confident he will thrive in a competitive environment.”
The signing of Cacace marks Wrexham’s third summer signing. This further demonstrates the club’s commitment to building a squad capable of challenging for promotion in League One.
