AdminSaudi executive Turki Alalshikh has reportedly been sounded out following his decision in August to pull out of a proposed takeover of Derby County.
The businessman had previously been linked with a move for the Championship club, but his decision to withdraw from the process has left the future ownership situation open once again.
Despite Alalshikh stepping away, interest in Derby remains strong, with at least three parties understood to be exploring the possibility of completing a deal for the club.
The latest development comes as the ownership race continues to gather pace, with potential investors assessing the opportunity to take control of the Rams.
King Power are also understood to be among those involved in the discussions, with the company setting September 14 as its deadline.
The deadline could prove significant as interested parties now face a limited window to make their intentions clear and potentially push forward with negotiations.
For Derby supporters, the latest developments will add further intrigue to what has already been a closely watched ownership saga.
Alalshikh’s decision to pull out in August had appeared to remove one of the major potential bidders from the race, but his name has now resurfaced after he was reportedly sounded out.
With three parties currently interested and King Power’s September 14 deadline approaching, the coming days could prove crucial in determining who eventually takes charge of Derby County.
