Nottingham Forest, a Premier League club, inquired with VfB Stuttgart about a winter transfer for Ramon Hendriks, a 24-year-old Dutch centre-back. The Bundesliga club, however, immediately rejected the approach. Hendriks joined Stuttgart in 2024 from Feyenoord Rotterdam for a small fee and has become a key player, with his contract running until 2028. It is uncertain whether Nottingham Forest will make another attempt to sign the defender. The former Netherlands U19 international has made 16 appearances and provided one assist in the Bundesliga this season. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €5.00m.
