Andre Wisdom is set to complete a move from Liverpool to Derby which could be worth up to £4.5m.

The defender has spent the past four seasons out on loan and is set to seal a permanent move to Pride Park Stadium.

The ECHO understands the deal is worth more than £2m initially with the extra payments due when achievable targets are reached. It resembles a similar contract which Liverpool put in place when Tiago Ilori moved to Reading.

Derby had made an official approach last week, offering £1m, an offer that was rejected.

Wisdom's most recent stint was at Austrian outfit Red Bull Salzburg, where he won the league and cup double.

The 24-year-old former England U21 international had no long-term future with the Reds but there was considerable interest in him from other clubs including Birmingham and Celtic.

Derby manager Gary Rowett, who took over in March, was the key man in the move and was able to convince Wisdom of his vision for the club.

Wisdom knows Derby well from his loan spell at the club in 2013/14 when he made 34 appearances when Steve McClaren was in the dugout.

He has also had spells at West Bromwich Albion and Norwich before moving to Austria at the start of last season, making 22 appearances in all.

The Leeds-born player - who can switch between centre-back and full-back - joined the Reds from the youth ranks at Bradford at the start of 2008.

He made his first team debut against Young Boys of Bern in the Europa League in September 2012, scoring in a 5-3 away victory.

He would go on to make 19 appearances in that season - the first under Brendan Rodgers - but would make just another three in the years that followed.
