Nottingham Forest are said to be keen on versatile AC Milan midfielder Yunus Musah ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Reds will hope to be planning for a European adventure come the end of this season. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are third in the Premier League and have a very good chance of securing Champions League football.
But however the next few weeks pan out, changes will be made to the Forest squad for the 2025/26 campaign. And as the club eye up potential targets, Musah is reportedly among the players on their radar.
According to MilanLive, the Reds are one of several teams to have “shown interest” in the 22-year-old. Premier League rivals Aston Villa, Newcastle United and West Ham United are also said to be keeping tabs on him.
Musah, who can operate as a central midfielder or winger, joined Milan from Valencia two years ago and has racked up plenty of minutes since then. However, his future in Italy is said to be uncertain amid suggestions he could soon head elsewhere.
A €30 million (£25m) price tag has been mooted for the USA international, who previously represented England at youth level. MilanLive indicate an offer of slightly less than that might prove to be enough to secure his signature.
Forest have been linked with Musah before, during his time at Valencia. They were credited with an interest in the American in the summer of 2022, following promotion to the top-flight, and then again the following January.
Head coach Nuno values players with the ability to play in several different positions as he prefers to work with a small squad. The centre of the pitch is an area where the Reds are currently well stocked but they have already been linked with a number of midfielders as they prepare to assess their options in the summer.
