BREAK One of the six teams “interested” in spending £400k to sign a “phenomenal” ace is Derby County.

It has been stated that Derby County is ‘interested’ in signing a Premier League diamond who may now fetch £400,000.

This month, Derby County’s midfield has suffered greatly as a result of the departures of Ebou Adams a2t the conclusion of his loan period, Conor Hourihane, and Korey Smith on free transfers.

Bobby Clark and Ben Osborn are two players who have been connected to moves to the Midlands, indicating that the Rams are ready to add more players to the center of the park.

Although Derby is also keen to sign Ebou Adams back to the team following a “huge” loan, they may now be able to sign a Premier League midfield player for a six-figure sum.

The Derby County target is currently offered for £400k.

“Marc Leonard has six offers on the table with Brighton ready to sell the midfielder for £400,000,” journalist Darren Witcoop wrote on X. Teams interested in making an agreement include those from League One, the Championship, and overseas.

Those six teams reportedly include Derby, Oxford United, Cardiff, and Birmingham City.

Over the past two seasons, Leonard has been on loan at Northampton Town, where he has won Player of the Year and assisted in their promotion to League One.

Report: With Cardiff City’s uncertainties continuing, Derby County has received important information from Ebou Adams.
Marc Leonard might be a very important addition to the Rams.

The “phenomenal” midfielder finished the previous season with five goals, six assists, fourth-most interceptions (67), third-most passes blocked (55), eighth-most critical passes (68), and the third-most successful tackles in the third tier (116).

Leonard has demonstrated that he is capable of making the transition from the third division, making him a great addition to Derby.

Although there will be fierce rivalry for his signature, it appears that a Championship club may get a great deal with him for less than half a million dollars.

However, that might depend on how hard they pursue Adams, who is likewise worth somewhat over £300,000.

Despite Birmingham’s recent promotion to the third division, Oxford, Cardiff, and Birmingham would undoubtedly rank among their favorites.
