  • Derby County is reportedly interested in re-signing Chilean forward Ben Brereton Díaz from Southampton.
  • Brereton Díaz had a successful previous season in the Championship but has had limited playing time this season.
  • Southampton is seeking a permanent transfer fee of £3.5 million, potentially complicating a loan deal for Derby.

English club Derby County is pursuing a move to bring Chilean international Ben Brereton Díaz back to the Championship, according to reports. Football Insider suggests the club has submitted a new offer to Southampton for the forward, aiming to secure him on loan.

Brereton Díaz enjoyed a strong resurgence last season, scoring seven goals and providing three assists in 40 league appearances. However, his current season at Southampton has seen limited opportunities, with only 63 minutes of game time across the Championship and EFL Cup.

Southampton, however, appears unwilling to let the player leave on loan. The club is reportedly holding out for a permanent transfer fee of £3.5 million. This stance presents a significant hurdle for Derby County, which will need to renegotiate terms before the September 1 deadline if they wish to acquire Brereton Díaz's services.
