Star wanted by Nottingham Forest has spoke with Nuno and Marinakis, he rejected the transfer due to..

Nottingham Forest are keen to add another striker to their ranks and Santiago Gimenez is one of the names on the shortlist.

The Reds drew their opening game of 2024/25 with Bournemouth yesterday – and striker Chris Wood started the new season where he left off last time around.

His 14 goals during the last campaign helped Forest remain in the Premier League and it will be hoped he can do the same this time around.

Forest do want reinforcements in their attack though and Gimenez is one name who is firmly on the club’s list.

The Feyenoord star is currently tied into a decent contract with the Eredivisie outfit but some news has been delivered that could excite the fan base.

Update delivered on Nottingham Forest interest in Santiago Gimenez

If this is true – and the source is reputable – then Forest fans might be forgiven for starting to get a little bit excited.

According to Fox Sports, Forest have already made an approach to sign Gimenez, with Nuno Espirito Santo and Miltos Marinakis already holding chats with the player.

Furthermore, it’s believed that the player won’t reject Forest should an offer be accepted by Feyenoord this summer.

Gimenez was in red-hot form during last season, scoring 26 goals for his club and that has alerted a number of European outfits.

It’s not clear exactly what fee it would take for Feyenoord to sell him but clearly things are ramping up a bit at the City Ground.

Gimenez, 23, has made a blistering start to the 2024/25 campaign, scoring four times and claiming two assists so far.

On Sunday, he scored twice in four minutes as Feyenoord battered PEC Zwolle 5-1 away from home.

Forest must now go and get Gimenez

This one shouldn’t take too long to get over the line from here and Forest must now dig deep to get Gimenez over the line.
