GOOD NEWS:Nottingham Forest head coach confirmed the return of former key player few minutes ago…
Nottingham Forest are trying to sign new players ahead of the new season and appear to be leaving no stone unturned.
The Reds have been quite active so far, with five new players arriving at the club ahead of the new campaign.
One of those – Marko Stamenic – has gone to Olympiacos on loan but the other four are all out in Spain on the pre-season training camp.
Now, another player has been linked with Forest, with Alexis Saelemaekers wanted by a host of Premier League clubs.
Interest is currently rife in the Belgian and now a report has claimed when clubs might start to make bids for the winger.
AC Milan expecting offers for Forest-linked Alexis Saelemaekers
It would appear as though things are going to heat up with the winger and it could happen as soon as this week.
Leicester are seemingly in pole position after it was claimed last week that they will make the first bid.
However, according to Calcio Mercato, AC Milan are now expecting to receive offers this week for Saelemaekers.
In the report, it’s also claimed that the Reds will have to fork out £17 million if they’re to sign the 25-year-old this summer.
Saelemaekers is deemed surplus to requirements at the San Siro and Bologna – where he spent last season on loan – aren’t keen on a permanent deal.
The winger is now looking for a new club and has vast interest from the Premier League, with Leicester, Forest, Ipswich and West Ham in the race.
Forest might miss out on Saelemaekers
Although the player fits the profile of a player who would perhaps excite the Forest fan base – it’s hard to imagine the club doing this one.
Once again this is another link to a right-footed winger and Forest already have Saelemaekers and Anthony Elanga.
Although wingers are the order of the day for Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad, it would be more sensical to sign a left-footed option.
Saelemaekers doesn’t fit that billing and perhaps Leicester – who are leading the race – makes more sense for the Belgian.
If Forest did sign Saelemaekers it would be viewed positively but right now he just doesn’t feel like the perfect signing for the club.
