Nottingham Forest are making bold moves this summer in the transfer window, with owner Evangelos Marinakis prepared to make significant investments in the team. Two deals are already in the works with Botafogo’s Igor Jesus and Jair Cunha set to join the squad at the City Ground.
Additionally, Forest are looking at Goztepe striker Romulo, who had an impressive season in Turkey with 17 goals and 10 assists. Brentford’s Yoane Wissa has also been linked to the club, with reports suggesting a bid has been made.
The latest development sees Nottingham Forest entering talks to sign AC Milan playmaker Alexis Saelemaekers. The Belgian winger, who spent last season on loan at Roma, impressed with 14 goal involvements for the Serie A giants.
Forest are aiming to secure Saelemaekers, who is considered one of the best playmakers in Europe, with the club’s manager Nuno Espirito Santo viewing him as a strong option. Negotiations are ongoing, with Forest looking to strike a £17m deal while Milan is holding out for £21m.
Despite the valuation gap, there is optimism that a deal can be reached, potentially adding a unique and creative player to Forest’s attacking options. Saelemaekers’ playmaking abilities would provide an exciting boost to the team as they look to strengthen for the upcoming season.
