Coady , 32, made 22 appearances in the Premier League as the Foxes were relegated back to the Championship .
He has been a regular feature in the Leicester team during pre-season under new manager Marti Cifuentes.
However, he could become the latest big name to sign up for a slice of Hollywood glamour in north-east Wales.
The Daily Mail say Wrexham are interested in the centre back this summer - with Coady "seen as the ideal man" to boost the club's bid to reach the Premier League in the next two seasons.
Wrexham have enjoyed a remarkable rise up the leagues following the takeover by actors and writers Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney .
The club has been promoted in each of the last three seasons, all the way from non-league, and are back in the second tier for the first time in 43 years.
Despite now being in the Championship, the club's ambitions have not slowed down and are aiming to reach the big time by 2027.
Coady could provide plenty of experience for manager Phil Parkinson, having won the second tier title twice in his career.
He has also made 198 appearances in the Prem during spells with Wolves, Everton and Leicester.
The Red Dragons have already made plenty of progress in building their squad for ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
They broke their transfer record first for Empoli left-back Liberato Cacace, who cost just over £2million, and the Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis O'Brien at around £5m.
And they could smash it again as they close in on the signing of Nathan Broadhead from Ipswich .
The Welsh attacker is set to cost Wrexham up to £7.5million after convincing the Tractor Boys to cash in on the star.

However, they did fail with a shock move to sign former Manchester United and Tottenham star Christian Eriksen .
The Dane is a free agent after he left Old Trafford at the end of last season.
Wrexham start their Championship campaign with a trip to St Mary's to take on relegated Prem side Southampton.
