He arrived at the City Ground with huge expectations but ultimately failed to deliver.
The transfer market choices Nottingham Forest has made recently have been dubious, which has greatly contributed to its most recent PSR violation.
Nuno Espírito Santo’s team was docked four points for violating the rules and going over budget by £34.5 million in the 2022–2023 fiscal year, which was more than the £61 million in allowable losses.
Undoubtedly, the signings of players like Emmanuel Dennis and Jonjo Shelvey have been a complete bust. In January, Dennis returned to Watford on loan after the Reds paid a staggering £20 million to sign the Nigerian forward.
In an attempt to undo the harm caused by these arrivals, the team sold players like Brennan Johnson and Orel Mangala, who together brought in over £75 million in transfer fees for the team.
But even with the current wave of players leaving the City Ground, Forest still has a lot of players who aren’t good enough. One of them is expected to leave permanently this summer after being loaned out in 2023–2024.
The Nottingham Forest statistics for Remo Freuler
Midfielder Remo Freuler arrived in the East Midlands with high expectations after joining the team for £7.6 million, having previously played in Serie A with Atalanta.
The Switzerland international, who had been dubbed as the “conductor of the orchestra” by Il Giorno’s Fabrizio Carcano, was utilised at the base of the midfield by former boss Steve Cooper, looking to dictate the play for the Reds.
However, the pace of the English game compared to the Italian was evidently too much for Freuler, with the 32-year-old struggling to make any sort of positive impact during his 33 matches in the Garibaldi Red.
