As Derby County prepares for their return to the Championship after being promoted last season, they should have a busy summer in the transfer market.
And among the names that have been on everyone’s lips is that of Ebou Adams, a midfielder for Cardiff City who had an outstanding loan stint at the team the previous season.
At Pride Park, he was incredibly well-liked following his game-changing stint in the center of their midfield the previous season. Having stated that, this is the current situation with the midfield player, whose future is still unknown.
Derby has been waiting patiently for the problems at Cardiff to be sorted, and they are still interested in the midfield player. More information regarding Adams’ future is anticipated now that the contract dispute involving Erol Bulut has been settled and he will remain manager of Cardiff for the upcoming campaign.
Adams resumed his preseason workouts with the Bluebirds this week, but over the past few weeks, Derby supporters have been vocal about their desire for his arrival on social media. Bulut was scheduled to speak this week with players who were either out on loan or in the final year of their contracts, and Adams will be seeking clarification over his own status. Although he hasn’t played much for the Bluebirds since joining from Forest Green Rovers, it’s still unclear how much Cardiff would be willing to pay for a player who is unquestionably a major favorite at Derby.
The transfer fee is now a sticking point, even though Derby is eager to close a deal. However, Cardiff must be realistic because the player is in the final year of his contract and can leave the team any time in the summer. It will be necessary to reach a settlement, and it appears that negotiations will go on.
What did Adams say about a return?
The fans, in my opinion, have said it all. I’ve had a great experience and I adore this place. It’s been amazing. To be honest, I’ve loved every minute of it. Thank you to the supporters and the team.
I owe them a great deal. They deserve at least a promotion, so I’m pleased to offer it to them. I hope they can go and do what they deserve to do next year.
“I’ll never say goodbye. I have no idea where I’ll be.
What has Paul Warne said?
The Rams head coach stated in a statement from March of last year: “First and foremost, he has been excellent, and I think the world of Ebou.” He’s a player for Cardiff, yet this sounds like the response of a football manager, which isn’t like me.
“They graciously leased him to us, and just because he wasn’t in their plans during this time doesn’t mean he won’t be for the next.
You could make the case that he still has maybe seven or, dare I say it, ten games left to attempt to win us around. Although he has the chance to attempt and win something here, he is essentially a Cardiff player. It’s most likely not as likely as it is.”
