Nottingham Forest are eager to sign another attacking player before the transfer window closes tomorrow night.
Evangelos Marinakis will work on a new forward. The ambitious owner wants Forest to enter Europe, therefore he will go to any length to get there.
Yoane Wissa has been associated to Forest this month. However, Jamie Redknapp believes Wissa would cost roughly £40 million, and the Reds will not pay that much on a player who is already 28 years old.
Matheus Cunha is another player that has been connected with Forest. The Wolves player appears to be likely to sign a new contract with the club for another four and a half years, but there will be a release clause that might tempt Forest in the summer.
New Matheus Cunha price emerges amid Forest interest.
Arsenal appears to have backed out of the Cunha race. However, it does not appear like anyone will be signing Cunha during the current transfer window.
According to Deadline Day Live, Cunha will now have a release clause of £62.5 million as the club attempts to discourage potential suitors from making an offer given their current circumstances.
The 25-year-old has 10 goals this season, and Wolves are presently in the bottom three. A new deal was expected, but the player has yet to sign it.
During the heat, Forest may need to move swiftly. European football might be on the topic at the City Ground, persuading the team to spend heavily on Cunha and go all out.
Forest might pursue Cunha this summer.
It was always difficult to imagine Wolves selling their finest player with the window so close to closing. Right now, the club would have no time to locate a replacement, and the fan outcry would be negative.
As a result, Forest will have to wait until summer. If the Reds can clinch European football without Cunha, perhaps the Brazilian will leap at the opportunity to return to the City Ground at the conclusion of the season.
Furthermore, Wolves may be a Championship team by then, and if so, they will be unable to command anything comparable to Cunha’s release clause.
Morgan Gibbs-White has endorsed Cunha’s signing. However, it always felt like a difficult deal to complete this month, and Forest will now have to redirect their efforts elsewhere.
