The club’s ambitions are high, with a potential Champions League qualification on the horizon, making this transfer window crucial for their aspirations.
🔄 Transfer Priorities
Midfield Reinforcements: Forest have been linked with a significant move for Manchester City’s Matheus Nunes. The Brazilian midfielder, primarily used as a full-back by Pep Guardiola, is reportedly available for around £35 million. Nuno’s interest in Nunes suggests a strategic acquisition to bolster the midfield options at the City Ground .
Defensive Strengthening: Forest are also targeting Genoa’s Radu Drăgușin, a 21-year-old Romanian centre-back. The club is prepared to offer €30 million (£26.1 million) to secure his services, aiming to outbid competitors like Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan .
Winger Acquisition: Gelson Martins of AS Monaco is reportedly Nuno’s first signing target. The Portuguese winger, who has fallen out of favour at Monaco, is expected to be available at a nominal fee, making him an attractive option to enhance Forest’s attacking options .
🔁 Potential Departures
Taiwo Awoniyi: Despite being a key figure in Forest’s promotion campaign, Awoniyi’s future at the club is uncertain. The Nigerian striker has struggled to secure a regular starting spot, and with Nuno seeking a more dynamic forward, Awoniyi could be sold if a suitable offer arises .
Goalkeeping Departures: Both Matt Turner and Odysseas Vlachodimos are facing uncertain futures at Forest. With the arrival of Brazilian goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, Turner, in particular, may seek opportunities elsewhere to secure regular playing time .
⚠️ Managerial Speculation
Amidst the transfer activity, Nuno’s future has come under scrutiny. AS Roma are reportedly interested in appointing him as their next manager, offering a two-year contract and a competitive transfer budget. However, Forest are eager to extend his tenure, and insiders deny any conflict between Nuno and club co-owner Evangelos Marinakis .
