Nottingham Forest's transfer activity is intensifying, with a new primary goalkeeper target emerging in Wolverhampton Wanderers' José Sá. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been linked to 13 possible arrivals and 7 potential exits, with the hottest storyline currently revolving around Lorenzo Lucca. The items below represent the latest news on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the club.
José Sá
Nottingham Forest has made Wolverhampton Wanderers' goalkeeper José Sá their primary target after John Victor suffered a season-ending injury on Wednesday. Sá's contract runs until 2027, but a potential relegation for Wolves could create new circumstances for a transfer. West Ham United have also been linked with the goalkeeper, whom Forest also pursued in 2023.
Jean-Philippe Mateta
On Wednesday, Team Talk reported that Tottenham have an urgent need to sign Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta and must act quickly to sign him ahead of Nottingham Forest. This followed news from Monday that Nottingham Forest had agreed personal terms with Mateta after positive discussions over the weekend. Forest submitted an opening bid of £35 million, but Palace requires a minimum of £40 million and insists that a replacement must be secured before approving any sale.
Lewis Dunk
According to Sky Sports on Wednesday, Brighton have rejected an approach from Nottingham Forest for 34-year-old England defender Lewis Dunk. Dunk has a contract with the club until June 2027.
Cuiabano
On Tuesday, reports indicated that Vasco is optimistic about signing left-back Cuiabano. After Nottingham Forest rejected an initial loan proposal with an option to buy, Vasco made a new offer of a loan with an obligation to buy for 7 million euros. Forest showed interest in this structure but has not yet agreed to the financial amount, and negotiations are ongoing, according to information first reported by journalist Lucas Pedrosa and confirmed by ESPN.
Harry Wilson
CaughtOffside was informed by sources on Monday that Nottingham Forest is closely monitoring the situation regarding Harry Wilson. Contract negotiations between Fulham and Wilson have been temporarily paused, alerting rival clubs to his potential availability. While a formal bid this month would not be surprising, sources suggest a summer move appears more likely.
Mathías Olivera
On Monday, TMW reported that Nottingham Forest is targeting Mathías Olivera and is preparing an offer greater than 18 million euros to present to Napoli, a club that needs to raise funds for purchases.
Mehdi Taremi
According to information in England on Monday, Nottingham Forest is still seriously considering Mehdi Taremi. David Ornstein reports that the Olympiacos forward remains a primary target, as the club wants to add another experienced and effective player.
