Nottingham Forest are finalizing their squad ahead of the transfer deadline, with the addition of several players including Nicolo Savona, Cuiabano, and John Victor. They are now targeting a highly sought-after La Liga star, Dodi Lukebakio from Sevilla, to bolster their attacking options.
Forest’s interest in Lukebakio comes as negotiations for Dilane Bakwa are ongoing, prompting them to explore other options. Lukebakio, who scored 11 goals for Sevilla last season and has Champions League experience, is valued at €30m. Forest, financially equipped to meet Sevilla’s demands, see him as a key reinforcement for their attack.
Despite Forest’s pursuit of Lukebakio, they face competition from Benfica and other clubs, with the Portuguese giants leveraging their Champions League status to attract the player. Additionally, clubs like Stuttgart and Atlético Madrid have shown interest, though Benfica are reportedly leading the race.
As deadline day approaches, Forest will need to work diligently to secure Lukebakio’s signature or consider alternative targets. The competition for the Belgian winger’s services is fierce, but Forest’s pursuit highlights their ambition to strengthen the squad before the transfer window closes.
