The transfer saga surrounding Nottingham Forest's attempt to sign Santiago Giménez from Feyenoord has come to a dramatic and disappointing end. Despite pulling out all the stops, Forest's last-ditch effort to bring the Mexican striker to the City Ground has failed.

Forest’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, was determined to secure Giménez as the club's marquee signing before the transfer window closed. In a bold move, Marinakis sent a delegation to the Netherlands to negotiate directly with Giménez's agent—who is also his father. The club was ready to offer improved wages and even a percentage of the transfer fee to sweeten the deal. It seemed like Forest was leaving no stone unturned in their quest to land their long-term target.

However, in a stunning turn of events, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has just tweeted that the deal is OFF! Santiago Giménez has rejected the move to Nottingham Forest, leaving the club scrambling with just hours left in the transfer window.

We also have news of two new transfer targets for Nottingham Forest, with Egyptian striker Omar Marmoush, being talked of as a potential back up plan if the Gimenez deal ends up falling through. There is also talk of a new winger heading to The City Ground and Matt Turner's potential exit from the club before Friday.
