RUMOUR FOR CLUB RECORD BID

L'equipe (Google translation) : Nottingham Forest made a PSG offer for Lee Kang-In

"Unhappy with his PSG playing time, Lee Kang-In would not refuse a start this summer. However, the Parisian leadership has remained firm in recent weeks and refuses to let the South Korean, let go, under contract until 2028. In recent days, Nottingham Forest has made an estimated offer of EUR 30 million, with bonuses of up to an additional EUR 30 million. "

That's a total of €60M (£52M) ?.

30 Aug 2025 19:58:15
And along come the tourist fans?
I'd rather leave that deal alone.

30 Aug 2025 21:10:01
I think these players bring in a load of shirt money. Not sure whether he's any good. He's been playing on the wing for PSG and we are trying to sign one more winger. It just seems really random suddenly getting this link at the end of the window.

30 Aug 2025 21:57:34
Not sure he's any good? ????.

30 Aug 2025 21:58:31
Club record transfer?
He'd better be good, stuff tee shirt sales.

30 Aug 2025 22:33:58
He could be bang average for all I know. I only remember seeing him play once. ?.

30 Aug 2025 23:32:16
185 odd appearances 22 goals, 24 years old, played for Valencia, Mallorca and PSG in Europe. I reckon his wages would be huge and the price tag is massive for a player who has struggled to push his way into the PSG first team.

Think its a pass for me, but the lad must have something about him to even get the PSG squad. ???.

RUMOUR another full back incoming

SPortWitness: "Nottingham Forest have managed to win the race for Cuiabano, landing their fourth Botafogo player of this transfer window. "

We were originally rumoured to be getting Cuiabano when we signed Jair Cuhna and Jesus.

Left wing back. Brighton were supposed to be in the driving seat.

So now West Ham, Tottenham, Palace and Brighton hate us! ??

If we can sign Dilane Bakwa then the squad is complete.

30 Aug 2025 19:02:01
I've heard Bakwa won't be joining, I was hoping for this to happen, but still a great window.

30 Aug 2025 19:59:12
Me to redclough.

Tbh a waste of money to me.

RUMOURS on Forest manager situation:

"Industry insider Mick Brown told Football Insider on 26 August that Forest are considering sacking Nuno with tensions rising among the key powers behind the scenes. "

"Reports have claimed the relationship between the pair is “potentially irreparable” [The Athletic], adding to the building tension and pressure on Nuno. "

Jose Mourinho is available after being sacked by Fenerbahce.

Leftfield one - Xavi may be looking for a return to Coaching after taking a year out after leaving Barca. One of my favourite players ever!

Peter O Rourke (football insider) explained that the lack of contract talks or discussions about the boss’ future have left the door open for Brendan Rogers' potential departure.

“Brendan Rodgers has been calling out for the club to back him, ” he told Football Insider.

“He wants to take Celtic to the next level after their run last year in the Champions League.

“But if Brendan Rodgers becomes available, I’m sure there’ll be a number of clubs looking at him, not just Nottingham Forest.

“He’s on a short contract and is into the final year at Celtic brings its own jeopardy as well.

“There’s seemingly been no talks or anything close to being agreed at Celtic.

“Obviously, that opens the door for a potential move away. ”

Don't shoot the messenger!

Brendan rogers is crap
If we sack nuno, then I'd expect marinakis to go all out for Marco silva.

28 Aug 2025 21:53:27
Full back from RB Leipzig?

28 Aug 2025 22:00:16
Good dinner you had then?

28 Aug 2025 22:06:37
Savona looks a done deal for RB. It's possible we might sign Geertruida from Leipzig as well, who also looks good. See post below.

28 Aug 2025 20:27:08
RUMOUR:

Romano tweet
?? EXCLUSIVE: Nottingham Forest agree deal to sign Nicolò Savona on a permanent move from Juventus.

Transfer fee in excess of €15m, clubs exchanging documents ahead of medical tests.

Savona can sign at #NFFC ahead of the weekend.

28 Aug 2025 20:34:00
Savona can play at right back and also CB.

Weirdly, there are reports that we are close to signing Lutsharel Geertruida. I say weirdly because he is also a RB who can play CB.

If we signed both, don't forget that Aina and Neco are both capable of playing LB.

28 Aug 2025 20:41:17
I wonder whether these are players who would fit a back 3 well?

28 Aug 2025 21:15:32
Geertruida is a beast ?.

28 Aug 2025 21:30:53
And yeah i thought the same about a back three, Geertruida was primarily a CB at Feyenoord if i remember rightly but his athleticism ment he could play RB also. ?.

28 Aug 2025 21:51:03
Morata moving on and these guys can play anywhere across the back four or five, options are really good we've bought in some quality
Richards, bowler, moreira, Dennis, awoniyi, jota, morata and sangare to sell and winger, two full backs in and we've had a brilliant window and balanced the books
Great buisness.

28 Aug 2025 22:26:19
Sels
Geertruida, Milenkovic, Murillo
Ndoye, Anderson, Gibbs-White, Sangare, Aina
McAtee
Wood/ Kalimuendo.

28 Aug 2025 22:50:32
Team will change all the time
CHO be in there for starters and douglas luiz hasn't come to play second fiddle to sangare.

29 Aug 2025 10:30:38
Luiz didn't go to Juventus to play second fiddle, but that's what happened.

29 Aug 2025 11:04:12
Won't happen at forest cyclist
Time to get over your love affair with sangare and luuz will add goals as well.

29 Aug 2025 11:23:32
If we get the Luiz from a couple of seasons ago, he'll be a great signing. I think having both in the squad makes sense. They are different types of player and we weren't flexible enough last season. Options are good.

28 Aug 2025 19:24:05
RUMOUR: ??

"Jose Mourinho is open to returning to the Premier League should the opportunity arise amid links with the potential vacancy at Nottingham Forest.

That is according to former Man United and Sunderland chief scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that the 62-year-old “always” has one eye on a dramatic return to English football. "

Don't shoot the messenger.

29 Aug 2025 22:22:01
His style is done cyclist
Not worked for last 15 years.

RUMOUR:

Fabrizio Romano
?? Nottingham Forest are in talks with Leicester City for Viktor Kristiansen.

Deal on as revealed in July and now in progress.

Nothing advanced for Nahuel Molina at this stage as he wants to stay at Atlético Madrid.

27 Aug 2025 16:45:28
Not posting a new rumour for every FB, but:

Nottingham Forest now in talks with Leipzig over Lursharel Geertruida

&

Forest make contact for Josh Doig.

Now a full Scotland international, the left-back came through the ranks at Hibs after starting his youth career across the city at Hearts. He made 78 Hibs appearances before moving to Italy with Hellas Verona and he’s now at Sassuolo, who the defender helped earn promotion back to Serie A ahead of this season from the second tier of Italian football.

&&

They also gave me a call and asked whether my Mum could fill in at left back just in case.

27 Aug 2025 18:59:40
Lol yeah mate, i stopped when we starting getting linked with every man and his dog once Europa league was confirmed. ?.

27 Aug 2025 19:19:50
It's blindingly obvious to me that every agent in Europe knows that we don't have any depth at RB/ LB and Nuno isn't happy. Suddenly the price is completely ridiculous for say, Juventus 2nd choice RB.

Controversial this, but I'd get a LB on loan, keep Moreira da Silva until January (who I think is a lot better than Nuno thinks) and not allow us to have our pants pulled down.

If a club asks for realistic money, then get a good prospect in. If they want £15M for a reserve RB then tell them to stick it up their proverbial. We ALREADY HAVE A HUNGRY YOUNG RB!

And we can always call on my Mum to cover LB is we have to.

28 Aug 2025 19:14:12
Savona deal progressing (Google translation from JuventusNews24)

The negotiations between Juventus and Nottingham Forest for Nicolò Savona come to life. According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, contacts between the parties continue steadily and there is confidence to reach an agreement. The English club, in fact, would be willing to raise its initial proposal to get closer to the 18 million euros requested by Juventus.
The profile of Savona

Savona, born in 2003, is one of the most interesting prospectuses out of the Juventus youth sector. Modern left-hander, skilled in both phases and with a good progression, was highlighted from Juve Primavera to the first team. His qualities have attracted the attention of several Premier League clubs, with Nottingham deciding to move in a concrete way in recent weeks.

28 Aug 2025 19:45:03
Unusually tall for a fullback at 6'4"!
He's a big lad.

28 Aug 2025 21:47:12
He can play at CB as well Fred, looking at his Transfermrkt profile.

28 Aug 2025 22:27:17
Yes played right side CB in a back 3 but looked better as a fullback apparently. Be a useful addition.

26 Aug 2025 21:01:44
RUMOUR on yet another FB:

Nicolo Savona could leave Juventus before the end of the summer transfer window, and Football Italia can confirm that the Bianconeri have received a €12m bid from Premier League side Nottingham Forest for the 22-year-old full-back.

Right back.

Played in World Club cup and appeared 20 odd times for them last season.

27 Aug 2025 09:34:09
Juventus are looking for around £17 million in order to do business on their full-back and that might mean the Reds chucking some hefty add-ons into the deal.

27 Aug 2025 16:42:06
Di Marzio reported: “The English club offered €11 million for Nicolò Savona. Juventus declined, demanding €18 million to release the 2003-born player. ” Forest’s intent is obvious, yet the gap in valuation highlights the challenge of securing Savona.

26 Aug 2025 16:39:13
West Ham want Sangare on a loan with an option to buy!

That would leave us with Yates and Dominguez as cover for Douglas Kuis and Dominguez is currently injured it's a no from me!

26 Aug 2025 22:56:49
I'd let him go munmad, had a poor game against Palace his lack. of pace gets him found out on numerous occasions
I don't think we would miss him.

27 Aug 2025 03:50:18
I disagree DTP, he has a great touch, good vision, breaks up play well. If he can get a more positive first touch and improve his speed he'll be unbelievable. Don't know why you hate on him so much. Had been a stand out through the last 6 weeks and with Europe, cups and prem, we need him.

27 Aug 2025 09:38:12
Letting him go to a close rival for Europe? Doesn't sound like good business to me.

27 Aug 2025 17:45:57
West ham a close rival for Europe? Can i please have some of what you're smoking mate? ?.

27 Aug 2025 18:51:22
Sangare is to slow and Palace jyst ran beyond him like most teams will, he can't keep up once turned by faster forward players.

28 Aug 2025 18:23:27
Palace only scored because Gibb-White can't help trying stupid tricks and let them in. Sangare was not the reason we lost.

We also could have won if Nuno hadn't waited until so late to make the substitutions that put us in the driving seat.

28 Aug 2025 20:22:35
We didn't lose, we drew.

28 Aug 2025 21:49:11
Sorry, drew. We'd have won were it not for Gibbs-White and Nuno's hesitation with subs.

26 Aug 2025 00:09:17
RUMOUR:

Nottingham Forest have opened talks to sign Fenerbahce goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic and he is open to a Premier League move before the window draws to a close.

The Croatia international, 66 caps, on £44K a week.

Surely he wouldn't be happy to be on the bench?

26 Aug 2025 06:41:16
Angus Gunn will never get a game at all.

26 Aug 2025 09:44:04
Yep, I'm a believer in the 3rd choice keeper being your youngster so they get a chance to be on the bench for cup games and maybe get a couple of starts. Maybe they want to send Bott on loan?

It looks like this is going to be a loan deal if it happens. Reports indicate that the clubs are negotiating about what share of the wage each pay. It is a big wage for a reserve keeper.

26 Aug 2025 00:05:38
RUMOUR:

Strasbourg reject €35m bid from Nottingham Forest to sign Dilane Bakwa

Similar type of player to Elanga, arguably better.

26 Aug 2025 01:21:54
Not too expensive. Can he play across the back?

25 Aug 2025 11:24:31
Big Taiwo could be about to leave, Werder Bremen are interested in a loan to buy deal. ?.

25 Aug 2025 14:43:21
One of the strikers won't fit into the squad, realistically.

I might do a list to show what we can fit into the squad, if I get time in a bit. In Skeg with son roasting to death at the moment.

27 Aug 2025 03:52:00
Love T. A but a loan move seems to be best for all involved. If he has a good season away, it could Jack up the sell price coming into his final year.
