Derby County Rejects €2.5m Monza Bid for Goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom
Derby County has received a €2.5m bid from AC Monza for goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom, but the club is expected to reject the offer due to the player's value. The 28-year-old Swede has been with the Rams since the summer of 2024 and has started in both games to start the 2026/27 season.
Why it Matters for Derby County
Derby County will surely reject Monza's bid for Zetterstrom, as the player has been valued at far more than €2.5m. The Rams would have fancied themselves to land a good fee after the campaign ended, but Zetterstrom's performances in the FIFA World Cup have sent his stock soaring.
What Comes Next?
It will be up to Monza to decide whether they want to come back to the table or if they see more value in alternative targets. Meanwhile, Derby County will expect to land far more than €2.5m for Zetterstrom's services, especially with Patrick Agyemang out long-term.
Derby County are currently 17th in the Championship, with 0 points from 1 game, and are 3 points behind leaders QPR. They have scored 1 goal and conceded 2, resulting in a -1 goal difference. The Rams will be looking to improve their form and push for a spot in the Championship play-off push.
