Wrexham reveals filming of TV show played part in Denmark star Eriksen rejecting contract offer
Christian Eriksen declined Wrexham's offer due to reluctance to appear in their documentary and desire to play top-tier football, joining Wolfsburg instead, CEO said.
- On Nov 5, 2025, Wrexham chief executive Michael Williamson revealed Christian Eriksen declined their summer approach because he refused to be filmed for Welcome to Wrexham and chose to join Bundesliga club Wolfsburg.
- Eriksen's representatives signalled they 'do not want his story to be in a documentary,' and Michael Williamson said the agent feared Wrexham's interest was documentary-driven, not football-related.
- Williamson says he reached out to the agent after consulting Phil Parkinson and drew on his Inter Milan connections; Wrexham's revealed interest helped bring in Kieffer Moore, Josh Windass, and spurred record transfers of �10 million.
- Wrexham currently sit 16th and five points from the play-offs, with Michael Williamson saying the Eriksen interest boosted recruitment but long-term squad building will 'take a few windows'.
- Wrexham's profile, boosted by its Emmy-winning Welcome to Wrexham series, has risen under Hollywood owners Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds while Christian Eriksen's comeback after his 2021 cardiac arrest gained global attention.
