Charlotte FC reportedly receive $8 million bid for USMNT forward Patrick Agyemang from English Championship side Derby County

<p>Patrick Agyemang has been linked with several clubs over the past month, but it appears as if Derby are the frontrunner after the team reportedly bid $8 million (£5.8m) for the Charlotte FC and U.S. international striker.</p><p>The Championship side, which fought off relegation last season with a 19th-place finish, have been linked with the 24-year-old for more than two months. Agyemang has reportedly green-lit the move. However, Charlotte have not yet accepted the bid, according to the same report.</p><p>Agyemang is seen as a late bloomer whose stock is rising at the right time, with the World Cup less than a year away. He has scored 17 goals in 59 MLS appearances, and also scored for the USMNT in the Gold Cup.</p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6465567/2025/07/01/patrick-agyemang-transfer-derby-charlotte/?source=bsky_uk" target="_self">The Athletic </a>was the first to report the bid from Derby, along with Agyemang agreeing to the move.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>A physical player at 6-4, Agyemang has the potential to thrive in the Championship, a league in which athletic strikers tend to succeed. Yet, a move wouldn't come without risks. Not all striker transfers to bigger clubs have paid dividends - Jozy Altidore's move to Sunderland or Ricardo Pepi's transfer to Augsburg are examples, with the latter's struggles in Germany costing him a spot in the 2022 World Cup.</p><p>Yet, it is a move that could help Agyemang stand out in a crowded USMNT striker race. Agyemang has two goals in four Gold Cup matches for the U.S. this summer.</p>
