The Derby County takeover bid lodged by Erik Alonso is no longer being considered by the club, while Mel Morris has entered into new talks regarding the sale of the Rams.
What's the latest?
That's according to a statement posted on the Derby County website, in which the club's CEO Stephen Pearce confirmed that the board are no longer considering the takeover bid of No Limits Sports Limited.
However, Pearce added that Mel Morris is actively discussing the sale of the club with a number of interested and credible parties.
He said: "An announcement was made in April that a deal was agreed between Mel Morris and No Limits Sports Limited, but subsequent developments mean the deal is no longer an option.
“However, Mel Morris is in touch with a number of credible parties in respect to purchasing both the football club and Pride Park Stadium."
Fans must be buzzing
Considering just how much Derby fans have had to endure this season - with their team narrowly avoiding relegation from the Championship, the frustration of two takeover attempts ending in failure and knowing their side face a points deduction for breaking Financial Fair Play rules - Pearce's clarification on the current situation regarding the sale of the club is likely to leave the Pride Park faithful buzzing.
Indeed, with a number of concerning issues coming to light regarding Alonso's bid for the club, it could easily be argued that Derby may well be better off without the Spanish businessman becoming their new owner.
Furthermore, with Pearce confirming that there are a "number of credible parties" interested in purchasing Derby, the prospect of the club being sold appears to have some potential ahead of next season.
As such, if the sale of the club is completed this summer, this would allow Derby and their fans to start looking forward to the future with a new owner who could back Rooney in the transfer market in the 35-year-old's bid to build a team capable of pushing for promotion and duly putting this year's disappointments firmly in the past.
