Nottingham Forest could now be in with a chance of signing a player they bid for back in 2023.
There is competition from fellow Premier League clubs, although a price tag has been revealed – therefore, if the Reds stump up the cash, a deal certainly looks possible.
So, who could Nottingham Forest finally bring to the City Ground this summer? Let’s take a look…
Nottingham Forest still want Florentino Luis
A story from Jornal de Noticias in Portugal now claims that Nottingham Forest are still hot on the trail of Benfica No.61 Florentino Luis – and are welcome to sign him this summer.
The Portuguese news outlet believe Benfica cannot guarantee the 24-year-old a regular spot in the starting XI next season, with his future described as “uncertain” in the report.
Benfica have – therefore – told the market that Luis is available if a bid of €30m (£25m) arrives, with Nottingham Forest, Everton and Leicester City interested.
Jornal de Noticias add that Nottingham Forest saw a bid rejected for the man from Lobito in 2023 – although offers are now more welcome at Benfica, as the Primeira Liga outfit are also looking to raise funds to strengthen other areas.
