Nottingham Forest set for busy window finale
Nottingham Forest's season got off to a dismal start, as Oliver Glasner's side slumped to a 1-0 home defeat to Leeds United. Plans are afoot to improve the squad, however, with two reports suggesting the club are after new signings. Football Insider claim that Forest are readying a £25m move for Crystal Palace right-back Victor Munoz, as Glasner looks to link up with one of his favoured former players.
On top of that, transfer insider Rudy Galetti has claimed that Forest have gone so far as to have submitted a mega £70m bid for Brentford striker Igor Thiago. No further detail of the supposed bid is given, but it's stated that a move 'can't be ruled out' despite the lethal striker's contract not expiring until 2031.
What comes next?
If Forest can pull both these deals off, they'll be delighted. The Munoz transfer looks to be realistic, and it would be ideal for Glasner to parachute in a player who knows his system inside out. The Thiago move sounds a little unlikely given that it's a bit of a sideways - if not downwards - move for a striker already outgrowing a mid-table club.
Why it matters for Nottingham Forest
The Forest faithful will be hoping that the club can strengthen their squad in the coming days, particularly after a disappointing start to the season. With the transfer window set to close on September 1st, time is of the essence for Glasner and his team.
What's next for Nottingham Forest?
As the transfer window enters its final stages, Nottingham Forest fans will be eagerly awaiting news on their club's transfer business. With the likes of Victor Munoz and Igor Thiago reportedly on the radar, it's an exciting time to be a Forest supporter.
