Nottingham Forest has had a great start to the Premier League season. If recent rumors are to be believed, they will want to maintain this momentum into January as they look to bolster their team once more.
The Reds’ thrilling 1-0 victory over Liverpool on Saturday was the high point of their undefeated first four games of the season.
Nottingham Forest transfer news.
Following their triumph over Liverpool, Forest’s week didn’t start off well when their talisman, Morgan Gibbs-White, was rumored to be joining Manchester City. The midfielder has been playing so well lately that the Blues have put together a thorough dossier on him. It is reported that the player is greatly admired by City’s scouting network.
Meanwhile, a recent report claimed that Forest is one of the teams considering a free move for defender Oumar Solet. The defender’s contract was terminated last weekend, and he left Red Bull Salzburg. West Ham, Aston Villa, and Wolves are among the teams interested in signing him, so it’s possible that he may transfer to England.
Nuno Espirito Santo and his transfer department are keeping an eye out for an attacker they would want to bring in during January even as they work to reinforce their current squad.
Nottingham Forest agree likely deal to sign £17m+ star.
When the January transfer market opens, Nottingham Forest is reportedly hoping to recruit Galatasaray attacker Baris Alper Yilmaz, according to Turkish media that Sport Witness has cited. The 24-year-old, who can play out wide or up forward, was rumored to be heading to the City Ground in the summer, but things fell through.
Nevertheless, Forest is still reportedly interested in signing the 24-year-old, as they have reached an early agreement with the Turkish powerhouses to do so in the new year.
Galatasaray wants to pay at least 20 million euros, or more than £17 million, for the winger, so Ross Wilson, the club’s sporting director, will have a big task ahead of him in negotiating the deal. Wilson appears to be getting ahead of the game by agreeing to everything before the window even opens, regardless of the final cost.
Since joining Galatasaray in July 2021, Yilmaz has contributed goals and assists, always being a part of the starting lineup. He started the current season on fire after leading the Süper Lig in scoring and assists in 37 games the previous season.
In addition, his play has brought him prominence on the international front; he has scored two goals and received 21 caps for Turkey. The adaptable striker began each of his nation’s five Euro 2024 matches as they advanced to the round of sixteen.
