- Reveals he was a big fan of club’s documentary
- Helped convince him to make move
Cacace swapped Serie A side Empoli for Wrexham this summer after arriving on a three-year deal. The transfer has been seen as something of a coup by the Welsh side and is part of a big-spending summer following promotion to the بطولة for the 2025-26 season.

The left-back has penned a three-year deal with Wrexham despite having offers from elsewhere. Cacace has spoken about his move, revealing how much he loved the club’s ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary and how that played a big role in his decision to head to the side co-owned by Hollywood superstars Reynolds and McElhenney.

He told BBC Sport Wales: “It’s a great doco, and I’ve watched all the seasons. There was interest in إيطاليا, but for me, I’m a big football fan as well. I watch a lot of football and I’ve always watched English football, from the الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز to the Championship as well so I know the level I’m heading into. It was always a big dream of mine to play in the UK. Obviously Wrexham having so much publicity in the media as well you could see what the club was like. It’s a very exciting project and I’m also very excited to start the season as well.”
Cacere also revealed how Wrexham staff visited his father’s restaurant during their pre-season tour of New Zealand و Australia while he was in Wales tying up his transfer.u0026nbsp;
He added: “Yeah, it was a crazy circumstance, a weird coincidence that they were over in my home country and I was here in Wrexham for the first few days. But it was a great touch from the staff and from the manager, to go over and say hello to Mum and Dad. I think it was a really good touch from them.”

Cacere will be aiming to make his competitive Wrexham debut when the Red Dragons open up their Championship campaign on Saturday against Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium.
