Derby County Transfer Deal in Doubt as Surprising Claim Emerges from Germany

Derby: The Rams are in a bit of a pickle with their transfer plans. They were eyeing Borussia Monchengladbach’s Oscar Fraulo, but things aren’t looking good.

The young midfielder is on loan at Utrecht, but he’s not getting much playtime. Reports say Derby hasn’t even reached out to Monchengladbach yet. That’s a big red flag for any potential deal.

Monchengladbach knows Fraulo isn’t getting enough action at Utrecht. They’re weighing their options—should they push Utrecht to play him more or just cut the loan?

Fraulo started at Midtjylland before moving to Monchengladbach in 2022. He had a decent run at Utrecht last season, scoring three goals and assisting four times. But this season? Not so much. He hasn’t started in the last six matches.

Derby sees potential in him, especially since they’ve had success with young players from the Dutch league before. They’re hoping he can help turn their season around.

With the Under-21 European Championships coming up, Fraulo needs to play regularly. That could work in Derby’s favor if they really want him.
