Manchester City has been linked with a potential move for Nottingham Forest’s Ola Aina, but no official offer has been made for the Nigerian defender.
With his contract set to expire in June 2025, his future remains uncertain as Forest push for an extension.
Contract Talks Stall Amid Transfer Speculation
Aina, 27, has enjoyed a solid spell at Nottingham Forest, but his long-term stay at the club remains in doubt.
Despite publicly expressing his appreciation for the club, its staff, and supporters, negotiations over a contract renewal have yet to yield an agreement.
“I really enjoy being here. I appreciate the staff, the players, the club, the community. Everything about this place is good, so I’m hopeful,” Aina said recently when asked about a possible extension.
However, with just over a year remaining on his contract, the full-back has not yet committed to new terms.
Reports suggest that Forest have tabled an offer, but Aina appears to be weighing his options.
Manchester City’s Interest and the Kyle Walker Factor
Speculation linking Aina with a move to Manchester City has intensified, with reports suggesting he has been identified as a possible replacement for Kyle Walker, who could depart at the end of the season.
While City is reportedly monitoring the situation, they have yet to submit a formal bid for the Nigerian international.
The uncertainty surrounding his contract situation could give the Premier League champions an advantage, as Aina will be free to negotiate with other clubs as his deal enters its final year.
Should City choose to make a move, Aina’s versatility and experience in England’s top flight could make him an appealing addition to Pep Guardiola’s squad as they prepare for a summer rebuild following a challenging season.
