Negative signs around Nottingham Forest’s ambitions to land player in the summer

Last summer, Nottingham Forest recruited Nikola Milenkovic from Serie A and the move has gone on to be a great success.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are now looking at other players from the Italian top-flight in an attempt to improve their squad ahead of potential European qualification this season.

Il Messaggero report Nottingham Forest is a candidate to land Lazio winger Mattia Zaccagni, who has scored eight goals and racked up six assists in the Serie A this season.

The newspaper claim the Italy international rejected a move to Napoli in January and swore his commitment to Lazio.

As a result, he is also ready to reject approaches from Nottingham Forest to stay at the Biancocelesti, where his current contract runs out in the summer of 2029.

A lot can depend on Lazio’s presence in the Champions League. A failure to qualify for the competition can lead to major sales and their last league game against Lecce will be key for their approach in the summer transfer window.
