Nottingham Forest is on the verge of a significant addition to their squad as they aim to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season.
Manager Nuno Espirito Santo, backed by the club’s board, is looking to avoid another relegation battle by bringing in key players this summer.
After successfully resolving PSR issues, Forest has already secured the signings of goalkeeper Carlos Miguel and Newcastle winger Elliott Anderson. Now, the club is closing in on a deal for Fiorentina’s Nikola Milenkovic.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the £12 million transfer is nearing completion, with contract details being finalized and a medical examination pending.
Milenkovic, who recently competed for Serbia in the UEFA EURO 2024 group stage, has previously attracted interest from Premier League giants like Arsenal and Tottenham. His acquisition is expected to bolster Forest’s defense, which struggled with consistency last season.
Forest’s fans are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the “extraordinary” defender, hoping he can provide the solidity needed at the back.
Despite uncertainties about further signings, the club aims to retain key players such as Morgan Gibbs-White, who has drawn interest from other teams. With these strategic moves, Nottingham Forest is gearing up for a more stable and competitive season ahead.
