Derby County's preferred bidder Chris Kirchner says he has held a meeting with ex-owner Mel Morris as he bids to get his takeover deal across the line.
The American businessman has been in lengthy discussions to purchase the Rams, who have been in administration last September. The club will be playing in League One next season after relegation from the second tier amid a 21-point handicap this term.
One of the key issues said to be holding up the deal is the situation regarding Derby's ground. Morris previously separated Pride Park from the club's ownership, buying it with a company registered in his name to comply with financial fair play regulations.
