Barnsley have been reported to have sold Davis Keillor-Dunn to Wrexham in a deal worth slightly above £2 million, a figure significantly below the club’s initial £5 million valuation earlier in the window.
The fee is further reduced by a 20% sell‑on clause owed to Mansfield Town, leaving Barnsley with a far smaller return than anticipated at a crucial stage of the deadline.
The timing of the transfer has placed considerable pressure on the club’s recruitment plans. With limited hours remaining to secure reinforcements, Barnsley have moved to bring in Tom Bradshaw as a replacement.
The Welsh striker returns to Oakwell from Oxford United, where he made only five appearances during a short and unsettled spell.
The reaction to DKD’s departure has been shaped not only by the fee and timing, but by a growing belief among supporters that the club’s ownership has drifted away from the principles outlined at the 2026 Fans’ Forum, a meeting that was intended to reset trust between board and fanbase.
