Nottingham Forest transfers LIVE: Merih Demiral, Tyler Adams, Kyogo Furuhashi latest

Reported Nottingham Forest target Merih Demiral is “back up for sale” in the summer transfer window.

The 25-year-old is said to have turned down a move to Forest back in the winter market this year, but Forest may now have a second bite at the cherry to sign their man.

Full story here.

No sooner had survival been secured than Nottingham Forest head coach Steve Cooper was turning his attention to what happens next.

There was the sense of relief which came with the final whistle against Arsenal, of course, and jubilant celebrations followed – just as they did when the curtain came down on the season at Crystal Palace. But Cooper isn’t one to dwell on what has passed for too long.

In his post-match press conference after beating the Gunners, he spoke of the “opportunity” the Reds have at their feet. Before the trip to Selhurst Park, he stuck to a similar theme when speaking to the media. And again in the press room following full-time of the 1-1 draw.

Crystal Palace have confirmed the signing of reported Nottingham Forest transfer target Jefferson Lerma.

The 28-year-old joins them from Premier League rivals Bournemouth on a free transfer, penning a three-year contract. Forest were said to be interested in signing the midfielder, with Leicester also linked before their relegation was confirmed.

Full story here.

Nottingham Forest apparently “do not want” to pay the £25million fee touted for Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson.

Forest do want to sign Henderson, who spent the 2022-23 season on loan at the City Ground, but will be hoping to pay a lower fee than the one Man United are said to want. Henderson was in fine form for Forest before injury cut his season short over the winter and he was replaced by Keylor Navas.

Full story here.

Plenty of work is already going on behind the scenes, but Nottingham Forest’s preparations for the upcoming season can really step up in the coming week.

Reds fans don’t have too long to wait before they can start filling in their diaries with away days and visits to the City Ground for the 2023/24 campaign. Fixture release day is always one of the most anticipated of the summer, and it is just around the corner.

Jesse Lingard’s short spell at Nottingham Forest was a “disaster”, according to pundit Darren Bent.

Publishing their retained list last week, the Reds announced Lingard will be one of six senior players to leave the club when their contracts expire at the end of this month. It brings an end to the 30-year-old’s one-year stay at the City Ground after signing as a free agent last summer.

Bent has criticised the attacker’s impact on the pitch: “Seventeen appearances in the league, no goals, no assists. I know he’s had his injuries and I think he’s even spoken about some of his problems off the pitch in a few interviews, but it just hasn’t worked. It’s been a disaster,” hesaid on talkSPORT.

Latest from transfer guru Fabrizio Romano…

Nottingham Forest are in advanced talks to sign Dean Henderson on a permanent deal — terms almost agreed also on the player side. Man United are not intentioned to give final green light until David de Gea signs new deal.

Hello all.

Hope everyone is keeping well and getting through the week without a Forest game to look forward to. Don’t worry, the new season will soon come around!

In the meantime, plenty going on on the transfer front. We’ll keep you up to date with the latest throughout the day

Nottingham Forest continue to be linked with Brazilian holding midfielder Pablo Maia but have another competitor for his signature to join the growing list of admirers linked with trying to buy him this summer.

The Reds have been ‘closely monitoring’ the Sao Paulo player in recent weeks but Premier League rivals Brentford are also understood to be keen on the 21-year-old’s services following earlier reports linking him with Newcastle United, West Ham and Fulham in the UK and Spanish side Atletico Madrid.

The defensive midfielder has made 84 appearances for his Brazilian side since making his debut last year after graduating from the club’s youth set-up. He has scored five goals and provided one assist so far during his career.

Plenty of talk about the goalkeeper at the minute.

90min suggesting talks are already taking place over a permanent move to the City Ground. The website had previously reported getting Keylor Navas back could also be an option, but they are now ruling that out.

The summer transfer window officially opens next Wednesday, and it is a crucial one for Nottingham Forest as they look to push on in the Premier League.

After last year’s record-breaking signing spree, head coach Steve Cooper has said he expects “more normal” numbers when it comes to incomings this time around. The Reds have the basis of a good squad already in place, with a few quality additions required rather than anything on the scale of 2022’s overhaul.

But with that comes an added emphasis on making sure those who do come in are the right fit. That applies both in terms of character and what they can bring to the side.

Dean Henderson ticks both boxes, having quickly become a fans’ favourite during his spell Trentside. And with Forest keen to get the Manchester United loanee back, we take a look at the state of play.

Nottingham Forest are said to have taken an interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Conor Coady as they plot their summer transfer business.

The 30-year-old spent the season on loan at Everton, but they have decided not to take up the £4.5 million option to buy clause included in the deal. With Coady’s future at his parent side uncertain, the Reds are reported to be one of the clubs keeping tabs on developments.

Head coach Steve Cooper has spoken about capitalising on the “opportunity to grow” as Nottingham Forest prepare for another season in the Premier League.

That includes strengthening the squad this summer in a bid to push on when the 2023/24 campaign begins. The transfer window officially opens on Wednesday, June 14, but the rumour mill is already in full swing.

Nottingham Forest fans have given a mixed response to reports linking the club with interest in Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams.

The USA international is said to be in line to depart Elland Road following the club’s relegation to the Championship. But there is likely to be plenty of interest in securing his services, with his agent having reportedly met clubs last week and Manchester United having previously been linked.

Adams signed for Leeds from RB Leipzig last summer for a reported £20 million. He penned a five-year contract which runs until 2027, but may end up seeing out only 12 months of that as the Whites find themselves vulnerable to losing some of their key players.

Dean Henderson is “close” to completing a permanent move Nottingham Forest from Manchester United, says a European transfer specialist.

The 26-year-old goalkeeper joined the Reds on a season-long loan from Old Trafford last summer, playing 20 times in all competitions and keeping six clean sheets in the Premier League during the first six months of the campaign.

However, he has not played since January after suffering a thigh injury against Leicester City. Manager Steve Cooper drafted in Paris Saint Germain stopper Keylor Navas for the remainder of the season. Nonetheless, Henderson has remained fully invested in Forest and joined players in celebrating survival after the 1-0 win over Arsenal on the final day of the season.

But already the focus is quickly shifting to next term. Pre-season plans are beginning to take shape and the Reds have announced their retained list.

Manchester United are reportedly not looking to recall Dean Henderson with the Red Devils hoping his loan spell to Nottingham Forest can be turned into a permanent move.

The goalkeeper has impressed during his loan spell at the City Ground this season having made vital saves for the Reds earlier in the campaign before picking up a season-ending injury in January.

Forest responded to Henderson’s injury by signing former Real Madrid shot-stopper Keylor Navas on-loan. The Costa Rican also had an impressive impact but will be returning to his parent club Paris Saint-Germain.

Head coach Steve Cooper has indicated this will be a crucial month for Nottingham Forest as work continues behind the scenes in preparation for the 2023/24 campaign.

For the players, however, it is an opportunity to rest and recuperate – something which will be especially welcome for those who have been struggling with injuries. Having key men sidelined for significant spells added to the challenges the Reds faced in their first season back in the Premier League.

Forest will hope for better fortune on that front next term. Following last week’s publication of the club’s retained list, here is a look at the injury state of play concerning those still on the books.
