TEAMtalk understands that 19-year-old Portuguese Al-Ittihad player Roger Fernandes is attracting serious transfer interest, with Nottingham Forest among his suitors. Fernandes, who joined the Saudi Pro League club from SC Braga in September 2025 for €34.5m (£30m), is also being monitored by multiple other Premier League clubs and has sparked significant interest from LaLiga sides. TEAMtalk sources indicate that Nottingham Forest were among several European teams that tried to sign the winger in the summer of 2025. According to sources, Forest, under new manager Ange Postecoglou, continue their 'constant observation' of Fernandes, seeing him as a potential boost to their attacking options amid their push for European qualification. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have also been mentioned in connection with the player, although no formal approaches have yet been made. According to Transfermarkt, the player has a current market value of €22.00m.
