Stoke City To Put Derby County Target Through Medical, Potters Closing In
According to the Daily Telegraph, Derby County target Viktor Johansson is scheduled to undergo a medical examination today at Stoke City. Stoke activated a release clause in his contract with Rotherham United, paving the way for the move.
Johansson has been a standout performer for Rotherham, making 45 appearances in the Championship this season despite the club’s relegation.
Stoke, having secured their place in the Championship for the next season, have been keen on acquiring the goalkeeper. Meanwhile, other clubs, including Derby, have also shown interest in signing him.
Stoke City has reportedly taken action on Viktor Johansson’s release clause, making a move to secure the goalkeeper’s services. The Potters have activated the release clause in his contract, signaling Johansson’s imminent transfer to the bet365 Stadium.
Johansson is expected to undergo a medical examination at Stoke today before finalizing the transfer. Stoke has emerged as the frontrunners in the race for his signature.
The transfer is set to yield Rotherham United a fee exceeding the previously speculated £1 million figure, despite initial beliefs that the release clause stood at £900,000.
With Johansson’s departure imminent, Rotherham manager Steve Evans will likely look to reinvest the proceeds as the club prepares for life in League One next season.
