Nottingham Forest have set their sights on Red Star Belgrade defender Nasser Djiga as they look to bolster their squad during the winter transfer window.
The club has yet to make any major additions this month, apart from re-signing goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey.
However, they remain active in the market, aiming to equip head coach Nuno Espírito Santo with the necessary reinforcements to compete at the highest level in the Premier League.
Nottingham Forest has reportedly submitted a €9 million bid for Djiga, just shy of Red Star Belgrade’s €10 million valuation. Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, with international sporting advisor Miran Pavlin playing a pivotal role in discussions.
The pursuit of Djiga comes as Forest prepares for the possible departure of key defender Murillo, who recently signed a new contract.
The next seven days should provide clarity on whether the move for Djiga will materialise or otherwise.
