Toni Fruk could leave Rijeka before the end of the transfer window, with Championship side
Wrexham interested in signing the Croatia international.
According to Football Insider, Wrexham are considering a late move for the attacking midfielder as they look to strengthen their squad.
Fruk has established himself as one of Rijeka's most important players over the past two seasons and enjoyed an outstanding campaign last term.
He scored 19 goals in all competitions, playing a key role for the Croatian club while also featuring in European qualifiers and the Conference League.
The 24-year-old has carried that form into the new season, registering one goal and one assist in his first three league appearances.
Wrexham consider late move for Fruk
Fruk's performances have inevitably attracted attention beyond Croatia.
The midfielder has developed into one of the most productive players in the Croatian league and is now also a Croatia international, further increasing his profile.
Wrexham are the latest club to consider a move as the transfer window approaches its conclusion.
A switch to England would represent a significant new step for Fruk, who has spent the majority of his senior career in Croatian football.
He has now accumulated 153 appearances in the Croatian top flight, producing an impressive return of 39 goals and 33 assists.
Those numbers underline why the Rijeka star has emerged as an attractive option for clubs looking for a midfielder capable of directly contributing goals and assists.
From Rijeka to Ryan Reynolds' Wrexham?
Wrexham's remarkable rise has made the Welsh club one of the most recognisable teams outside the Premier League.
Actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took control of the club in 2020 and have overseen a dramatic transformation both on and off the pitch.
Wrexham have since climbed through the English football pyramid and now compete in the Championship.
Their ambitions extend even further.
Last season, Wrexham finished seventh in the Championship, missing out on the promotion playoffs by only two points.
That left them just outside the battle for a place in the Premier League and demonstrated how far the club has progressed since Reynolds and McElhenney took ownership.
Fruk could face major decision
For Rijeka, losing Fruk during the closing stages of the transfer window would mean losing one of their most productive attacking players.
His contribution extends beyond goals, with his ability to create chances and operate in several attacking roles making him an important part of the team's offensive structure.
For Fruk, however, the opportunity to move to the Championship would provide a new challenge in one of Europe's most competitive leagues outside the traditional top divisions.
Wrexham's ambitions could also make the project particularly attractive.
The Welsh club came close to challenging for Premier League promotion last season and are expected to continue investing as they attempt to take another step forward.
No agreement has yet been reported between Wrexham and Rijeka, but with the transfer deadline approaching, Fruk is now one of the Croatian club's players whose future could become a major talking point in the final hours of the window.
