It is believed Manchester City want the 19-year-old to go out and play on loan to gain some regular first-team football next season, which has alerted a number of clubs, including Leeds and Derby.
Both sides are looking to strengthen their squads, but former Real Madrid No 2, Paul Clement, who is the new Rams boss, could hold the advantage after Pozo spent his youth career at the Bernabeu before moving to the Etihad in 2012.
The young Spaniard made four appearances in all competitions for the Premier League runners-up in the 2014/15 campaign, scoring one goal.
