So far this season, Steve Cooper’s stint at Nottingham Forest has been fruitful, with the Midlands club looking like a team set to climb out of relegation problems and into the Premier League’s mid-table. Their most spectacular performance came against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, where they overcame the Blues in one of the season’s most exciting moments.
Following a strong start, those at the club may shift their focus to further reinforcements, whether in January or in preparation for next summer’s ambitions. And one particular player, whose current contract ends in the summer, could be among them.
What is the most recent Nottingham Forest transfer news?
Nottingham Forest’s summer transfers were once again substantial, with a number of additions ranging from Anthony Elanga and Divock Origi to Ibrahim Sangare. And, so far, despite the fact that some may consider their transfer tactics to be fairly harsh at times, they have been rewarded for their investment. Cooper will be hoping that his team returns from the international break in even better shape, as they attempt to put some distance between themselves and the dropzone.
Off the field, the newest Borna Barisic transfer news is undoubtedly intriguing for the Midlands club. According to TeamTalk, Forest and Evangelos Marinakis are still interested in signing the Rangers left-back, whose current contract expires next summer, allowing him to begin talks about a move in January.
However, the Croatian is said to have a new contract on the table that would extend his stay at the Gers by another two years. The fact that Forest has yet to put pen to paper on that deal may give him some hope, adding fuel to the fire when it comes to the rumors.
With current Forest left-back Harry Tofolo facing a five-month ban for breaking betting regulations at the end of next season, Cooper would be wise to bring in Barisic. The 30-year-old would bring a wealth of experience to the club, having won the Scottish Premiership with the Gers. Barisic has been at his best at the club throughout his career, earning merited accolades, particularly from Pat Bonner, who praised the left-back as “superb” in an interview with BBC Sportsound.
So, Barisic is definitely one to watch in the coming months, especially if he fails to sign a new contract with the Rangers. Forest haven’t been reluctant to spend big money in the past, so if the Scottish giants want to cash in, the Midlands club may be waiting to welcome the Croatian. He would definitely bring another element down Forest’s left side.
