Confirmed: Wrexham Sign Román Gómez On Four-Year Deal — Fabrizio Romano
WREXHAM, WALES – Wrexham AFC have officially confirmed the signing of highly-rated defender Román Gómez from Brazilian side Esporte Clube Bahia on a four-year contract, as first reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The transfer fee remains undisclosed, but the deal represents another major statement of intent from the Red Dragons as they strengthen their squad for the new Championship campaign.
Gómez arrives at the Racecourse Ground with a growing reputation following an impressive spell in Brazil. The talented centre-back joined Bahia earlier in 2026 and made an instant impact, playing a key role in the club’s Campeonato Baiano state title triumph in March 2026 — lifting the trophy just weeks after his arrival. His composed performances, defensive intelligence, and ability to bring the ball out from the back caught the eye of scouts across Europe, and Wrexham moved decisively to secure his signature ahead of several other interested clubs.
“Román is a player we have monitored for some time, and we are delighted to have reached an agreement to bring him to the club,” a Wrexham statement confirmed. “He has already shown he is a winner, having secured a major honour shortly after joining his previous club. He fits exactly the profile we are looking for — young, technically excellent, hungry for success, and with the versatility to play across the defensive line. We believe he has all the qualities to thrive in the Championship and become a key part of what we are building here.”
The 22-year-old has put pen to paper on a four-year contract that will keep him in North Wales until 2030, providing long-term defensive stability for Phil Parkinson’s side. The fee remains undisclosed at the request of both clubs, though it is understood to represent a significant investment in the player’s future.
Speaking after completing his move, Gómez expressed his delight at joining one of the fastest-growing clubs in world football: “I am very happy and proud to be here. This is a club with incredible history and huge ambition, and I cannot wait to get started. I know the Championship is a very tough, physical league, but I am ready for the challenge. I want to help this team win matches and achieve our goals, and I will give everything I have for the supporters.”
Head coach Phil Parkinson confirmed Gómez will link up with his new team-mates immediately and could be in line for a place in the squad for the upcoming fixture. “He’s a talented young defender with a bright future,” Parkinson said. “We’re really pleased to welcome him to the group and look forward to seeing him develop.”
For Wrexham, it is another exciting addition to a rapidly improving squad — and further proof that they are now attracting top talent from across the globe.
