Nottingham Forest’s transfer saga takes a twist as Danilo’s proposed €25m (£21m) move to Lyon faces complications, despite a bid confirmed by Fabrizio Romano! The Brazilian midfielder, who joined Forest from Palmeiras for £16-18m in 2023, is reportedly unhappy with a clause in the deal that could see him return to Botafogo—owned by Lyon’s John Textor—in the future, as he’d prefer a move back to Palmeiras if returning to Brazil. With Forest’s triple Botafogo signing (Igor Jesus, Jair Cunha, and Cuiabano) nearing completion, the club is keen to balance the books, but Danilo’s reluctance could stall the transfer.
In exciting incoming news, Forest are in pole position to sign Galatasaray’s Turkish international winger Barış Alper Yılmaz, who looks set to leave the Super Lig giants this summer! With competition from RB Leipzig and West Ham, Forest’s €20-25m bid (plus bonuses) puts them ahead, especially after Galatasaray rejected earlier offers. The 24-year-old, versatile forward, who’s scored 12 goals and provided six assists this season, is keen on a Premier League move, and his pace and ability to play across the front line could supercharge Nuno Espírito Santo’s attack alongside Igor Jesus. Wolfie analyses why Yılmaz could be the perfect fit for Forest’s Europa Conference League campaign and how his signing might offset any Danilo departure.
