Latest Nottingham Forest transfer news as the Reds speed up their summer recruitment drive.
Nottingham Forest are rumored to be interested in Uruguay international Maxi Araujo.
The dynamic winger has attracted attention for his team at this summer’s Copa America. His strong form appears to have sparked concern among a number of clubs.
According to reports, Araujo’s deal with Toluca has a release clause worth 20 million euros (£17 million). According to reports, it won’t be long until someone activates it, and the Reds will have to compete for his signature.
According to Spanish newspaper AS, Forest and Aston Villa have “begun the first contacts” with the 24-year-old’s Mexican club. There are no solid offers yet, but it is predicted that they “will not take long” to arrive.
Some of the Premier League’s “Big Six” are thought to be keeping an eye on him, as is Barcelona. According to AS, Toluca will not accept anything less than the player’s release clause worth, and “negotiations are expected to be tough.”
Araujo, a left-footed player, can play left-back, center midfield, and wing. He has two goals and an assist for Uruguay in this year’s Copa America, ahead of their quarterfinal match against Brazil this weekend.
Forest has made three additions this summer. Elliot Anderson signed with Newcastle United earlier this week, after the arrivals of Marko Stamenic and Eric da Silva Moreira.
The team has had a strong start to the transfer market, while there is still work to be done before the August 30 deadline. Bolstering head coach Nuno Espirito Santo’s attacking options would be beneficial as the Reds attempt to stay in the top flight next season.
The Portuguese loves versatile players because he works with a small squad. Anderson matches that description, as does Araujo.
