Sources: Major update on Keylor Navas and Dean Henderson futures at Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest are yet to decide whether to sign Dean Henderson or Keylor Navas on a permanent deal, sources have told Football Insider.
Both goalkeepers joined Forest on loan this season and are currently set to leave the City Ground at the end of the season.
Steve Cooper is keen to sign a permanent shot-stopper this summer but is unable to negotiate a deal with either Henderson or Navas while the threat of relegation looms.
Forest currently sit 14th in the Premier League table but remain just three points clear of the bottom three positions after Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Tottenham.
Football Insider sources revealed on Saturday (11 March) that a fire sale is on the cards at Forest this summer if they are relegated.
Forest have signed 30 new players over the summer and January transfer windows, with Cooper aware that his squad needed a major overhaul after their Championship play-off success last season.
Henderson arrived on loan from Man United and played every eligible minute in the Premier League until mid-January when he suffered a thigh injury.
Forest then moved swiftly to sign Navas on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, and the Costa Rican goalkeeper has played all six games since his arrival, keeping one clean sheet and conceding 12 times.
The club are aware that neither Henderson or Navas are acquirable this summer if they suffer relegation this season, while both are options for permanent transfers if the club do achieve Premier League survival.
