Derby County 2025 summer transfers: Every confirmed signing and sale for John Eustace's side

Derby County narrowly avoided relegation back to League One during a turbulent 2024-25 campaign that saw upheaval in the dugout and a shift in strategy at Pride Park.

Paul Warne began the season in charge, but a poor run of results led the hierarchy to part company with the manager, turning instead to John Eustace, who managed to steady the ship.

The new boss oversaw gradual improvement, yet survival still came down to the final day, with the Rams edging clear in a nerve-racking five-team scramble, finishing just one point above 22nd-placed Luton Town.

Determined to steer clear of another heart-in-mouth relegation scrap, Derby oversaw sweeping changes this summer, with 12 new arrivals and nine departures in what represents one of the club’s busiest windows in recent memory.

Reports from BBC Radio suggest Clowes Developments have bankrolled the project, with spending believed to be well in excess of £8.5m once undisclosed fees are taken into account.

Patrick Agyemang arrived from Charlotte FC for £6m, while the Rams’ most recent addition is right-back Max Johnston, who joined from Sturm Graz in a deal worth around £2.5m.
