Cardiff City is reportedly in advanced transfer negotiations with Wrexham over acquiring forward Jack Marriott, marking a notable move between the two Welsh clubs. Marriott, known for his agility, quick-footedness, and goal-scoring knack, has consistently impressed at Wrexham, helping drive their recent competitive success. His performances have not only caught the attention of Cardiff but also drawn interest from other Championship clubs.
For Cardiff, the 29-year-old Marriott represents an opportunity to bolster their forward line, bringing in proven quality and experience. Currently, Cardiff’s forward lineup has struggled with consistency in front of goal, and they view Marriott as an ideal solution to that issue. The former Derby County and Peterborough striker could add firepower to a side aiming to secure a more comfortable league position and push for the playoffs.
Meanwhile, Wrexham, who earned promotion back to the Football League and are looking to strengthen their squad, would likely demand a substantial fee to let go of their top striker. With the January transfer window approaching, both clubs seem keen to finalize the deal, which could involve various performance-based clauses. If completed, Marriott’s transfer would be one of the most significant intra-Welsh moves this season.
