Nottingham Forest is interested in Trabzonspor's Ivorian midfielder Christ Inao Oulaï, who is a midfield target for the club. This interest follows the club's sale of 23-year-old Elliot Anderson to Manchester City for a €135 million fee. The 20-year-old, who has 11 caps for his country, has also been a long-term interest for Chelsea and Leipzig, with PSG and Barcelona also reportedly monitoring him.
Oulaï joined the Turkish club in August 2025 from Bastia for a fee of €5.5 million and is under contract until June 2030. During the 2025/2026 Süper Lig season, he recorded 2 goals and 4 assists in 25 appearances. While Trabzonspor's management expects a transfer fee of approximately €40 million for the player, it was reported in January 2026 that they rejected an offer of that amount from Chelsea, with more recent reports in June 2026 stating an asking price of approximately €50 million. His current market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €23.00m.
