The club, which managed to maintain its Premier League status despite financial constraints, now looks set to reinforce its squad in a bid to push higher up the table in the 2025/26 season.
Forest’s quiet January window was largely influenced by financial fair play considerations, with the club looking to avoid any breaches that could result in penalties. However, with the new financial year and potential player sales freeing up funds, the Reds are now in a better position to invest. Sources close to the club suggest that several positions will be targeted, including a proven striker, a creative midfielder, and reinforcements in defense.
Head coach Nuno Espírito Santo is believed to have outlined a clear vision for the squad’s evolution, emphasizing both quality and depth. After navigating a challenging season with limited resources, he now has the green light to work more proactively with the recruitment team. The goal is to build a team capable not just of survival, but of competing consistently in the top half of the table.
Forest’s hierarchy understands that smart spending will be key. Rather than a scattergun approach, the club aims to focus on players who fit into Nuno’s tactical system and can offer long-term value. There may also be outgoings, with fringe players and high earners potentially moving on to balance the books.
With fan expectations rising and the lure of Premier League stability, Nottingham Forest’s summer window could be one of the most active in recent years — one that defines the next phase of their top-flight journey.
