Conor Coady has spent the previous three months with Charlton Athletic, where he has played an important role in the club’s push for Championship survival after moving to the city from Wrexham.

The former Wolverhampton Wanderers centre-back made only six games for the Red Dragons before joining the Addicks, but he has already appeared eight times for Nathan Jones’ side, scoring once in a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough.

Nonetheless, considering his experience in the top division, several fans at The Valley believe the defender should be made a priority signing in the summer, given how important he has been to their recent form turnaround as well as their newfound defensive consistency.

However, there is one difficulty with signing Coady on a permanent basis from Wrexham, and Charlton fans should be concerned if their side enters into a new transfer agreement with the Welsh club during the summer transfer window.

Charlton Athletic has cautioned that Conor Coady’s wages may pose a problem if a permanent bid is pursued.

At 33, few players in the Championship have the Liverpool-born ace’s experience, and he has been a revelation for a team struggling near the bottom of the table.

Jones values athleticism in his players, but this was not a long-term strategy. Coady was brought in for short-term relief.Although I wouldn’t want to tie him down permanently, I think it was a great decision for both sides. When Coady leaves this summer, I believe both he and Charlton will be pleased with how this trade has worked out for both parties, and we will wish each other the best moving forward.”

Wrexham may consider selling Conor Coady for a low price this summer. The club is in a strong position to compete for the Championship play-offs with Southampton and Hull City.

However, promotion to the Premier League would leave players like Coady out in the cold, therefore they may aim to transfer the veteran centre-back for a low price as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney strive to add even more quality to the squad at the Racecourse Ground.

Charlton may be willing to decrease his wage expectations and come on for another season at The Valley after developing a relationship with the 33-year-old while on loan.

Nonetheless, given the defender’s age, it may not be a prudent idea to invest a substantial amount of the club’s salary on a player approaching the end of his career.
