Derby prepare for an exciting 2025/26 second tier season ahead of their neighbors

After Derby County survived on the final day of the 2024/25 campaign, John Eustace will be looking to bring in new faces as he builds a squad capable of a mid-table finish at the minimum.

The turnaround that the Rams saw after Eustace arrived was simply sensational. At one point, the East Midlands outfit were seven points from safety, but a 0-0 draw against Stoke City in their last game saw them stay up by a point.

CEO Stephen Pearce stated in May that a busy transfer window was ahead, and work has been ongoing off the pitch to get the club prepared for their second successive campaign in the Championship.

The transfer window has been through a makeover this year, and it opened on June 1, before it shuts again on June 10. This is mainly down to the FIFA Club World Cup in the USA, with those involved able to bring in new signings before the tournament starts.
