Nottingham Forest in Advanced Talks for Multiple Defenders Including Sevilla, Aston Villa Targets

Nottingham Forest are actively bolstering their squad with multiple transfer targets this summer. They are in advanced talks to sign Sevilla's versatile 23-year-old right-back José Angel Carmona, following their unsuccessful pursuit of Manchester City's Rico Lewis, who has committed to a contract extension at City. The club is also negotiating with Juventus over a deal for Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz, aiming to strengthen their midfield ahead of their Europa League campaign. Additionally, Forest have shown interest in Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, among other clubs, as his future is expected to be decided soon. While Forest considered bringing back Aston Villa’s Matty Cash, financial constraints and Villa’s contract situation have complicated that potential move. These efforts reflect Forest's ambition to enhance their squad depth and compete effectively in the Premier League and Europe.
