Nottingham Forest have made contact to sign a player from Bayern Munich, and Vincent Kompany is willing to let him leave the Allianz Arena.
Despite finishing eight points behind the Garibaldi and leading Burnley back into the Championship, the Belgian has been appointed as Thomas Tuchel’s replacement in Bavaria.
Kompany’s first assignment will be to cut his team at Bayern Munich, which could lead to a player joining Nottingham Forest on loan.
Nottingham Forest makes contact to sign Daniel Peretz.
According to BILD in Germany, Nottingham Forest has expressed interest in Bayern Munich No.18 Daniel Peretz.
Kompany’s team is believed to admire the Israeli international, but believe he requires regular playing time somewhere because he is below Manuel Neuer and Sven Ulreich in the pecking order.
According to BILD, Nottingham Forest is one of many clubs interested in signing Peretz, with Celtic, Sevilla, Real Betis, Villarreal, Anderlecht, and Copenhagen also contacting Bayern Munich.
As a result, Ross Wilson will have stiff competition in signing the Tel Aviv-born glovesman this summer.
Despite being a third-choice last season, Peretz, who Bayern Munich purchased from Maccabi Tel Aviv for €5 million (£4 million), appeared twice for the German giants, keeping two clean sheets.
Bayern Munich would certainly want reassurance.
As previously stated, Bayern Munich wants Peretz to have plenty of playing time on his planned loan away from Bavaria, therefore the Bundesliga club would undoubtedly want assurances about guaranteed minutes.
That would almost certainly necessitate Nuno Espirito Santo benching Matz Sels, who only arrived at the City Ground in January, or rotating the Belgium international with Peretz on a regular basis, which we do not anticipate.
As a result, unless Bayern Munich agrees to allow the Israeli join Nottingham Forest as a backup option rather than demanding that he start immediately, we doubt this trade will happen.
