According to VoetbalPrimeur, Wrexham was willing to pay a club-record fee for Sulc, with reports suggesting a bid of around £35-40 million. However, Sulc himself had no interest in joining the Championship club, citing a desire to stay at Lyon. In an interview with Seznam Zpravy, Sulc explained that he found Wrexham's offer unappealing, saying "Wrexham is a cult club with a Hollywood fairytale story, but I had no desire to go to the Championship or a small town in Wales." Sulc ultimately stayed at Lyon, while Wrexham spent around £40 million on transfers this summer, but currently sits in a disappointing 14th place in the Championship after eight games.
