Wrexham currently have some outstanding players on their roster, but one in particular has the potential to net Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds a tidy sum if sold in the future.
As Wrexham progresses through the EFL, the quality of their players improves, with some garnering interest from elsewhere in the UK.
Rangers have lately expressed an interest in Ryan Barnett, as had Championship clubs Preston North End and Stoke City last month.
Few will deny that Barnett has been Wrexham’s Player of the Season thus far, providing the majority of their offensive threat while being deployed at right wing-back.
The 25-year-old has progressed significantly in the 2024/25 season and, on paper, could be the Red Dragons’ most valuable player.
Record signings Ollie Rathbone and Modou Faal, who were paid £500,000 and £590,000 respectively, should also be among their most valued assets.
Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds told who is Wrexham’s most valuable player
However, none of Wrexham’s most expensive or in-form players are named as the club’s most valuable player.
Sebastian Revan, a former Aston Villa full-back, has won the prize, much to the amazement of Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.
That is according to the CIES Football Observatory, which produces reports based on player statistics.
CIES has issued a list of the most valuable players at each club in more than 65 leagues around the world.
They have also named Revan, rather than Barnett or Faal, as Wrexham’s most valuable player, with an estimated value of €2.5 million to €3.2 million.
Given his age, it is understood that Revan has a high potential worth, but it is still unexpected that he is ranked higher than Barnett.
How much did Wrexham pay for Sebastian Revan
The precise amount spent to entice Revan away from Aston Villa is unknown, but approximated prices place the deal at roughly £350,000.
This means that Wrexham may potentially sell the defender for six times more than they paid for him in the summer.
However, whether Revan is able to preserve that transfer value will most likely be determined by how much game time he receives in the remaining months of 2024/25.
The 21-year-old has not started a league game since the beginning of October, and with Wrexham being out of all three cup competitions, it is difficult to see where he will have a chance to establish himself going forward, given James McClean’s strong form and the aforementioned Barnett.
