Derby County's prospective new owner Erik Alonso has targeted Champions League football as he announced his ambitions for the Rams.
The Spanish businessman has agreed to purchase the club from current chairman Mel Morris having worked briefly as an adviser to Sheffield Wednesday.
And he has not only pledged to try to take the Rams back to the Premier League but also football's elite European competition.
"My goal is to make Derby big again and get back to the Premier League as soon as possible," he told BBC Radio Derby.
"The eventual goal is the Champions League. I dream big.
"I will not bring [Lionel] Messi or Cristiano [Ronaldo] but we have to get a good squad. For sure we will make a squad to fight to get promoted back to the Premier League."
Derby are currently languishing at the wrong end of the Championship in a season dominated by off-field matters with the club having seen a takeover over by Deventio Holdings abandoned last month.
The No Limits Sports Limited company is now waiting to pass the Football League owners and directors' test before the deal can go ahead.
And Alonso says he has no plans to change Wayne Rooney as manager once he is in the hot seat.
"Wayne Rooney was a legend as a player. Now he's doing very well as a coach and he will have all the support from me," Alonso said.
"I have already spoken to him, I said let's focus on staying in the league and then we can talk about next season."
