Nigerian international Ola Aina is on the verge of extending his stay at Nottingham Forest, with the full-back set to sign a new two-year contract that includes an option for an additional year.
His current deal is set to expire this summer, but the player is keen to continue his journey with the Tricky Trees.
Despite reported interest from Premier League giants Liverpool, Manchester City, and his former club Chelsea, the 28-year-old appears committed to remaining at the City Ground.
Since arriving on a free transfer from Torino two years ago, Aina has established himself as one of the league’s standout full-backs.
Nottingham Forest Determined to Retain Aina
Aina’s impressive displays have also caught the attention of Italian side AC Milan and reigning English champions Manchester City.
However, Nottingham Forest are eager to secure his services for the long term and are prepared to offer him an improved contract with a salary increase.
Negotiations are expected to gain momentum in the coming weeks, with a final agreement potentially reached early next month.
Under the guidance of Nuno Espírito Santo, Aina has made 29 Premier League appearances this season, contributing two goals and one assist.
His performances have been instrumental in Forest’s push for European qualification, further cementing his importance to the club’s ambitions.
With talks set to progress, Nottingham Forest will be hoping to finalize the extension swiftly and ensure that Aina remains a key figure in their squad for seasons to come.
