Nottingham Forest is reportedly interested in Thiago Almada from Olympique de Lyon. The club is in need of offensive reinforcements following the departures of players such as Anthony Elanga to Newcastle and Morgan Gibbs-White to Tottenham. However, there are concerns that they might be too late, as Atlético Madrid is currently leading the pursuit of Almada. The Spanish club is seeking to replace Ángel Correa, who has recently transferred to Tigres. Despite Nottingham Forest's active involvement in the transfer market, with acquisitions like Igor Jesus and Jair Cunha, Atlético Madrid is said to be in advanced negotiations with Lyon, with a potential deal that could exceed €40 million. The influence of Diego Simeone and the involvement of the player's agent, Agustín Jiménez, who maintains strong connections with Atlético, are significant factors in the ongoing discussions. Almada, who is renowned for his versatility, could potentially join Atlético as a replacement for Correa, accompanying forwards such as Antoine Griezmann, Julián Álvarez, and Alexander Sorloth.
