Club ‘prepared to accept’ Nottingham Forest bid as player stance emerges

Galatasaray are reportedly prepared to accept Nottingham Forest’s bid for centre-back Victor Nelsson.

It was reported earlier this week that Forest had been in contacts with the Turkish side over a possible move for Nelsson. Steve Cooper is keen to add a central defender to his ranks heading into the new season.

In a recent report by Turkish outlet Aksam, they state that Forest have submitted an €18million (£16m) offer plus add-ons that could increase the package to €22m (£19m). The Denmark international still has three years left on his current deal after making the €7m switch from Copenhagen in 2021.

Although Galatasaray have apparently valued Nelsson at €25m (£22m), the Turkish outfit are “preparing to accept” the offer, in order to comply with the Financial Fair Play rules.

It is also pointed out that the player would be willing to move on. “Victor Nelsson is ready to accept Nottingham Forest’s offer because he wants to play in a bigger league, although he expresses that he is happy at Galatasaray at every opportunity,” Aksam details.

Nelsson has featured 82 times for the Turkish champions, scoring twice.
