With the transfer window officially open, the gossip mill has been in overdrive as Nottingham Forest seeks to make the signings that would help them escape another season at the bottom of the Premier League table.
The Reds’ goal over the coming weeks and months is to finish the summer with a squad capable of competing in the Premier League. Forest will also try to balance the accounts, which will include both outgoings and incomings.
Here’s what the media around the world is saying about the Reds as we look at the latest headlines.
Mendes can make the defender deal happen.
Nottingham Forest are interested in signing Eric da Silva Moreira, a teenager from St. Pauli.
Jorge Mendes is handling Moreira’s future, and the defender is expected to join England or Forest.

Nottinghamshire Live says: Looks like an exciting prospect for the club to grow. Looking for the next generation of talent is crucial for every team, and Moreira appears to be a player with a bright future.
It would be a wise move if Forest and Mendes could finalize the deal, which would be a fantastic investment.
Forest seek French ace

According to Nottinghamshire Live, you must always be on the lookout, and Locko has had a spectacular season after assisting Brest in achieving the unprecedented feat of qualifying for the Champions League. He may be a wonderful successor for Nuno Tavares as Forest, but he would most likely command a reasonable fee after such a successful season.
Goalkeeper reveals Forest curiosity.
Matheus, a Braga goalkeeper, claims that Nottingham Forest and Manchester United expressed interest in him last summer.
Matheus confesses that he was offered a contract when United were looking for two goalkeepers last summer. United eventually signed Altay Bayindir as their second-choice goalkeeper and Andre Onana as their first.
Matheus told O Jogo: “There was interest from Nottingham Forest last season, but the chairman decided it was best if I stayed. A few failed to get started. Nottingham Forest, Manchester United, Nice, and some Brazilians. None were finalized since the timing was not perfect.”
Nottinghamshire Live reports that Forest’s goalkeeping department has been a major issue that has to be addressed. The Reds require a stopper of genuine Premier League caliber.
