Join Wolfie on Forest Fan TV for a massive transfer update as Nottingham Forest send scouts to the Club World Cup to watch Palmeiras midfielder Richard Rios! The Colombian star, who impressed Forest back in January, has continued to shine, drawing interest from Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur as well. With a reported £85m release clause, Wolfie dissects whether this ambitious move is feasible for the Reds, who are looking to bolster their midfield for the Europa Conference League, and explores how Rios’ physicality and technical brilliance could fit into Nuno Espírito Santo’s system.

The stakes are high with Rios, described as a ‘freak athlete’ by scouts, but the £85m price tag poses a significant challenge, especially with Premier League rivals circling. Forest’s renewed interest follows their seventh-place finish and European qualification, signaling big ambitions under Evangelos Marinakis. Wolfie breaks down the financial implications and whether negotiation below the release clause is more realistic. Could he be the midfield maestro to elevate Forest’s game?

There’s more transfer buzz as reports suggest Forest are also eyeing Lyon winger Malick Fofana, adding to their attacking options. The 20-year-old Belgian, linked with Chelsea and Liverpool, has caught the Reds’ eye with his 16 goal involvements this season, though competition is fierce. Wolfie discusses how Fofana could complement the squad alongside potential moves like Wissa or Vlahović, and what this dual pursuit means for Forest’s summer strategy. Drop your thoughts in the comments—can Forest land Rios or Fofana, and would they be good fits?
