Wrexham A.F.C. and Birmingham City continue their pursuit of Rapid Vienna midfielder Romeo Amane, with fresh competition from French sides Lens and Rennes. The 23-year-old defensive midfielder has been a target for the Championship clubs for nearly two months, and the race for his signature is heating up.
What’s the latest on Romeo Amane’s transfer saga?
Amane, who has a contract with Rapid Vienna until 2029, has attracted interest after a strong 2025/26 campaign, making 49 appearances and contributing 1 goal and 4 assists. While Sheffield United and FC Copenhagen have dropped out of the race, Wrexham A.F.C. and Birmingham City remain keen, though they now face competition from Lens and Rennes. Lens, in particular, see Amane as a potential replacement for Mamdou Sangaré, who is set to join Brentford for £7 million.
Why is Wrexham A.F.C. interested in Romeo Amane?
Wrexham A.F.C. has been active in the transfer market, looking to strengthen their midfield after missing out on Swansea City’s Ethan Galbraith, who joined Stoke City. The Welsh side finished 7th in the Championship last season with 71 points (19W-14D-13L) and a +4 goal difference, and they are keen to add dynamism and defensive solidity to their lineup. Amane’s experience in European competitions, including the Europa Conference League and Europa League, makes him an attractive target.
What’s next for Romeo Amane’s transfer?
Amane is currently recovering from an ankle injury but is expected to return for Rapid Vienna’s Europa Conference League qualifier on August 6. His injury is not serious and should not hinder any potential transfer. With multiple clubs still in the race, the next few weeks could be decisive in determining where the 23-year-old midfielder will play next season.
