Derby County is right to aim for a 29-year-old, but only if the price is right: Viewpoint

The plans for the transfer window are being laid out as Derby County gets ready for another season of Championship play.
When the transfer market opens, Derby County will be keen to add players. DCFC will be keen to capitalize on their narrow escape from relegation to League One.

With important players like Sondre Langas and Ebou Adams on the roster, the Rams will want to bolster their core group.

Derby County is reportedly keen to get one back, although loan players will be returning to their parent clubs.

Marcus Harness is that man, and according to Football League World, DCFC is thinking of making a reunion move for Harness as he gets ready to return to Ipswich Town. If the price is right, it may also prove to be a wise move for the Rams.

The state of harness at Ipswich Town
Last July, Harness moved to Derby County. After Ipswich Town got promoted to the Premier League, he fell in the hierarchy and had to move elsewhere to get more playing time.

That’s exactly what DCFC gave him. The 29-year-old played 42 games in all competitions under the direction of Paul Warne, interim manager Matt Hamshaw, and current incumbent Eustace, contributing four goals and four assists throughout that time.

This summer, Harness will return to Ipswich, although he has a 12-month extension option. And since the Rams are interested and other teams are probably keeping an eye on him, that provision may be activated.

Astute business decision for Derby County
Derby County has to make sure that whatever deal they make for Harness is at the proper price, even if he is probably going to be under contract for another year.

He is not one to overpay or blow the bank for, but he is a versatile player and a good addition to the championship team.

Given that Derby County has other areas where they need to spend more money this summer, a deal for Harness must make financial sense.
