Nottingham Forest Overhauls Midfield Amidst Ambitious Transfer Pursuits

The club already secured Liam Delap.

Forest is in talks with Corinthians for 20-year-old Brazilian midfielder Andre; proposals have been exchanged, but no final agreement exists, with the deal potentially valued at £30 million.

Further strengthening efforts include reported interest in Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pape Matar Sarr.

Forest is also said to have enquired about a loan with an option to buy for Sarr.

Xaver Schlager is expected to join the Nottingham Forest lineup, replacing Ibrahim Sangare due to injury.

The club is also understood to be pursuing Everton's 19-year-old homegrown midfielder Harrison Armstrong, with the deal believed to be worth around £40 million.

Forest is reportedly willing to pay a significant amount to bring Armstrong to the club, despite potential backlash from Everton supporters if the Friedkin Group were to sell Armstrong and Iliman Ndiaye so close to the deadline without securing top-quality replacements.

In defensive moves, Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace have reportedly reached an agreement for Daniel Munoz's transfer, with the fee believed to be around £22 million.

This comes as Crystal Palace reportedly signed Anan Khalaili from Union Saint-Gilloise for approximately £21 million.

Jean-Philippe Mateta is expected to remain at Palace after sustaining a hamstring injury.

However, Omari Hutchinson is poised to leave Nottingham Forest for AC Milan.

Forest also saw Fiorentina reject an approach for Brazilian right-back Dodo.

Nottingham Forest travels to Anfield to play Liverpool on Saturday, facing immediate competitive demands amidst its extensive transfer activity.
