Derby County are the leading club attempting to sign Vancouver Whitecaps' American midfielder Sebastian Berhalter, although they could face competition from Championship rivals Watford and Norwich City. The MLS club is expected to seek a fee between €5m and €10m for the 24-year-old, whose contract expires at the end of 2026. The Rams have reportedly already made an approach through intermediaries after expressing a concrete interest in the player. The United States international has 11 caps and one goal for his country, and in the 2025/2026 Major League Soccer season he has scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists in 5 appearances. He moved to Vancouver from Columbus Crew in February 2022 for a reported €91K.
