Nottingham Forest are going to be shopping in a condensed market this summer, with European football on the radar for the club next season.
It’s the UEFA Conference League that awaits Forest in 2025/26, with the club in Europe for the first time in 30 years.
Nuno Espirito Santo will want a few new players to bolster his ranks before the big kick-off in August, with four competitions for Forest to fight for next season.
Igor Jesus is set to sign for Forest ahead of next season, with other forward players likely to be on the radar of the club before the window closes.
Each department will likely be in need of reinforcement before the big kick-off, and hopefully, things will heat up on the recruitment side of things very soon.

Nottingham Forest target Andrea Cambiaso wanted by Premier League club
Forest were linked with Cambiaso over the weekend, but now they are going to face a real fight to land him.
Not only will the left-back likely cost in the region of £45 million, but The Athletic claims that Manchester City are also in the mix to sign him this summer.
City are currently at the Club World Cup, and after signing four players already this summer, there is a chance that they will still be active in the market.

Cambiaso is currently at Juventus, and his future could be up in the air this summer, with plenty of interest from around Europe in his signature.
The 25-year-old played 42 games for the Old Lady last term, scoring twice and registering five assists from his position on the left.
Forest might have to lower expectations in transfer market
The Reds were linked with Adrian Truffert this month, but he’s now gone to Bournemouth, with Forest potentially left to regret that call.
Cambiaso would be a seriously impressive signing for Forest, but with City now entering the race, it probably showcases that he’s a bridge too far.
There is a lot to like about the Italian defender and it’s admirable that Forest are keen to try and sign quality over quantity once again.
With European football on the cards, Forest should be able to land some top talent this window, but it’s vital that the club remains realistic with their approach.
