Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho is eager to sign a highly-rated Nottingham Forest player this summer transfer window.

Nottingham Forest had points docked last season after breaching Financial Fair Play regulations, so this summer they’re being a lot more considered in their transfer business.

Like all clubs in the Premier League, they’ll have to trade and raise funds through player sales in order to facilitate moves for new signings, of which they’ve made six so far.

With that said, one of Nuno Espirito Santo’s key players is now being mooted with a switch to Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.

Fenerbahce want Nottingham Forest midfielder Nicolas Dominguez

Turkish giants Galatasaray submitted an £11m bid for Nottingham Forest midfielder Nicolas Dominguez earlier in the window.

That was evidently knocked back by the East Midlanders but now interest is gathering once again for the 26-year-old.

This time it’s Fenerbahce who are pursuing Dominguez with the charge led by former Chelsea and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho.

That’s according to Sabah, who claim he’s on the transfer shortlist along with Scott McTominay, Sander Berg and Sofyan Amrabat.

The Super Lig side have also been credited with an interest in his teammate Ibrahim Sangare.

Nottingham Forest can’t lose Nicolas Dominguez

Forest shouldn’t be entertaining any offers for Dominguez this summer after his impressive pre-season performances.

The Argentinian midfielder, labelled as a ‘standout’ player per The Athletic, has established himself as a pivotal part of Nuno’s plans and could go up a level this term as he nears his prime years.

In other news, Leeds signing Jonathan Rowe could be really good news for Nottingham Forest.
