Nottingham Forest are ready to sell four stars this week as they bid to avoid further punishment under Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), sources have told Football Insider.
It is believed the Midlands club are ready to part with Joe Worrall, Lewis O’Brien, Emmanuel Dennis and Matt Turner.
Forest are under pressure to ensure they record a suitable trading profit before their 2023-24 accounting period ends on Sunday (30 June).
Finance expert Stefan Borson told Football Insider earlier this month (15 June) that Nottingham Forest must make £20million from player sales before the end of the month to avoid a points deduction.
Clubs are only permitted to lose £105million over three years under current PSR rules.
