Big news is breaking at the City Ground as Nottingham Forest midfielder Danilo is reportedly in talks for a £20m move to Ligue 1 side Lyon! The 24-year-old Brazilian, who has made 47 starts and scored six goals since joining Forest in 2023, could be on his way out despite a contract until 2029. Wolfie breaks down whether this deal makes sense for Forest, weighing the profit against losing a talented central midfielder as the club prepares for the Europa Conference League. With owner Evangelos Marinakis’ ties to Lyon’s owner John Textor potentially smoothing the transfer, is this a smart move to comply with Premier League and UEFA financial rules, or a risky loss for Nuno Espírito Santo’s squad?
In other explosive news, there’s talk of a potential back door entry into the Europa League for Forest! Reports suggest Crystal Palace, who qualified for the Europa League via their FA Cup win, could face expulsion from European competition due to UEFA’s multi-club ownership rules, as their part-owner John Textor also owns Botafogo and a stake in Lyon. If Palace are kicked out, Forest, who finished seventh and secured a Conference League spot, could be bumped up to the Europa League.
What do YOU think? Is £20m for Danilo a fair deal, or should Forest hold onto their midfield star? And could a surprise Europa League spot change the club’s transfer strategy? Drop your thoughts in the comments and join the debate! With Forest’s transfer window heating up and European dreams on the line, this is a pivotal moment for the Reds.
