Derby County is reportedly interested in signing Max Lowe, the talented defender who is currently with Sheffield Wednesday. With Lowe's contract expiring this summer, he will be a free agent, making him an attractive option for Derby County and other Championship clubs. Former England winger Chris Waddle has mentioned that it may be challenging for Sheffield Wednesday to retain Lowe if he receives offers from clubs in the Championship. Having developed through the ranks at Pride Park, Lowe has a strong connection to Derby County, where he spent 13 years before moving to Sheffield United. During his time at Derby, he made 48 appearances, establishing himself as a key player in his final season.

Sheffield Wednesday's manager, Henrik Pedersen, has praised Lowe's contributions to the team, highlighting his defensive skills and ability to positively impact the group. However, with Derby County's recent release of Callum Elder, the club is in need of a new left-back, and Lowe could fit that role perfectly. Waddle believes that Lowe's experience and performance in the Championship will attract interest, making it difficult for Sheffield Wednesday to keep him. As Derby County looks to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season, Lowe's potential return could be a significant boost for the club's ambitions in the Championship.
