‘Nottingham Forest ready to agree multiple deals – you will see a lot of action’
Nottingham Forest could be set for a busy summer transfer window as they prepare for European football next season.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have already qualified for Europe following their strong campaign.
However, they have slipped to seventh in the Premier League table after winning just one of their past six league games, with five Champions League places on offer this season.
Finance expert Stefan Borson exclusively told Football Insider Forest will be waiting to see which competition they qualify for before agreeing any deals.
Callum Hudson-Odoi and Neco Williams are out of contract in June 2026, while Ola Aina’s deal will also run out next summer after a 12-month extension clause in his contract has now been triggered.
Forest are set to hold contract talks with Hudson-Odoi as Manchester United are understood to be monitoring his situation.
Meanwhile, Forest are looking to resolve Morgan Gibbs-White’s future after he’s been heavily linked with a move to Manchester City.
Nottingham Forest could agree Morgan Gibbs-White deal
Borson insisted Forest will look to strengthen their squad this summer after qualifying for Europe.
He told Football Insider: “They seem to have a few contract situations.
“They are not going to want to lose key players. They obviously are in Europe, but depending on what version of Europe they get, they’re going to invest.
“They may decide that particularly if they could sell Gibbs-White, then that would give them a decent amount of capacity to start to strengthen the squad.
“I have no idea whether United are interested in Hudson-Odoi, but I think you’ll see a lot of action at Nottingham Forest either way. I think they’re just waiting to see what they’re playing with.
“A lot of these teams are in that situation where they’ll have different budgets for different scenarios. And really, what they’re waiting for now is this last couple of weeks to know what is our position?
“Therefore, what are we likely to earn revenue-wise next season? Therefore, if we model it out, what’s our budget for the wage bill? How much can we spend in the transfer market?
“All of that’s going to become apparent in the next couple of weeks because the thing about these teams is you’re going to be able to forecast with quite a lot of certainty your minimum sort of numbers for next year once you know where you finished this year.
“The two big variables that you’ll have for next year if you’re in Europe will be what are you going to generate from European competition and what are you going to generate from the league merit position.
“People will model fairly conservatively on the league position.”
Nottingham Forest plot move to sign Harvey Elliott
Football Insider revealed on 9 May Liverpool star Harvey Elliott is on Forest’s radar and could be made available by Arne Slot this summer.
Several Premier League clubs, including Wolves, Bournemouth and Newcastle United, are also believed to be keeping a close eye on the winger’s situation.
