As Nottingham Forest’s season opener against Bournemouth approaches, the team has one final week to fine-tune their preparations. It’s been a successful summer for Forest, with hard work evident on and off the pitch.
Nuno Espirito Santo has received full support from owner Evangelos Marinakis, resulting in six new signings already. But the excitement continues as Forest looks to make more additions to the squad.
While a bid for Porto winger Galeno was rejected, Forest is now working on another deal, aiming to secure a seventh player this weekend. The summer recruitment has been impressive, with new signings like Elliot Anderson already making an impact.
Forest recently played a friendly against Olympiacos in Greece, where Anderson showcased his talent once again. Despite the positive business so far, Forest is determined to make more deals happen, including an improved offer for Galeno and a potential move for Paraguayan winger Ramon Sosa.
Sosa, rated at £20m, is eager to join Forest and is holding out on training with Talleres to force the move. The situation is becoming tense in Argentina, with Sosa adamant about his desire to play for Forest. However, the deal must be finalized soon, or he may be stuck at Talleres for the upcoming season.
It will be an intriguing few days for Sosa as he waits to see if the move to Nottingham Forest materializes.
