Nottingham Forest will have to be extremely careful when it comes to expanding their team before the transfer deadline.
Nuno Espirito Santo has had an uncharacteristically calm month. With this squad currently third in the Premier League, the need for reinforcements has not been as pressing as in recent years.
However, Evangelos Marinakis is looking for a forward. He wants Forest to make the most of this opportunity to play in Europe, and new players are being sought.
Forest wants Matheus Cunha. However, signing him will be difficult because Wolves value him at roughly £70 million to any club that wants to sign him during the current transfer window.
There will be more names on the list at Forest as the club works hard behind the scenes. However, the likelihood of one player appearing on Trentside may be diminishing.
Mathys Tel waves goodbye to Bayern Munich fans among Forest and Tottenham connections.
Tel’s inclusion in the starting lineup Friday night surprised many, given that Bayern had already qualified for the Champions League’s next stage.
Tel has already received appreciation from Harry Kane. He was connected with Forest earlier this month, and he was also a target during the club’s summer transfer window.
Following the game at the Allianz Arena last night, Tel appeared to wave goodbye to the Bayern fans. It appears that he is on his way to England, with the Premier League being his favorite destination.
Tel has been with the German giants since 2022, when he joined from Rennes. In 83 appearances for the squad, he has 16 goals and seven assists, but he has struggled to find consistent game time recently.
Fabrizio Romano delivers an update on Mathys Tel’s future amid Forest links.
It appears that Forest is losing the struggle to sign Tel. Tottenham look to have stepped forward in the last 24 hours, with Chelsea and Manchester United also rumoured to be interested.
Romano said on X: “The race for Mathys Tel is heating up, with Premier League clubs vying for it. Tottenham are open to investing on permanent transfers, given their director was in attendance in Munich last night. Chelsea is still looking for a permanent deal, while Manchester United has requested a loan.
In retrospect, Tel appears to have been the ideal Forest signing. He’s only 19, so he’ll enter with a lot of promise and a player who will most likely have a high resale value.
Forest could definitely need another forward option before the window closes on Monday. Right now, it appears unlikely to be Tel, with the Reds reportedly interested on other targets, and who the club does add remains to be known at this point.
