Nottingham Forest’s summer of spending is not done just yet despite the Reds having been one of the busiest sides in the Premier League.
Evangelos Marinakis has certainly backed his manager with Nuno Espirito Santo welcoming in six new faces to the City Ground this summer.
And six could soon be set to rise to seven with Forest continuing to try and make some deals ahead of their Premier League opener next weekend.
Summer preparations on the pitch are now complete following the 4-3 victory in Greece on Thursday night against Olympiacos.
However, despite being in action on the pitch, Forest had a bid rejected for Porto winger Galeno whilst the friendly was being played out.
But it is not just Galeno who Forest are targeting over the coming weeks.

Nottingham Forest eyeing move for in-demand defender
Although Forest have been busy in the market, they are still looking for ways to improve ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
And it has been reported on Friday morning that Forest could now return to Porto with an improved offer for Galeno.
Considering there was a lot to be concerned about coming out of the 2023/24 campaign, Forest have certainly done what they can to ease the minds of the fans ahead of the new season.
And there could soon be even more cause for excitement at the City Ground as Forest are showing no sign of letting up in the market.
According to Turkish outlet Sabah, Forest are one of the sides who have shown a real interest in the Fenerbahce left-back Ferdi Kadioglu.
But the reds are by no means alone in their interest of the defender with the likes of Brighton & Hove Albion and Southampton also keen.
With the Turkish giants hoping to keep Kadioglu this summer, they have slapped a €35m (£30m) valuation on him to fend off any interest.
A bid in the region of €25m (£21m) has already been knocked back by Jose Mourinho’s side.
Arsenal also showing interest in Forest target Ferdi Kadioglu
The clubs mentioned above may not be the most prestigious in the Premier League with the likes of Southampton expected to be battling for survival.
However, to show how highly rated the defender is, Arsenal have also shown an interest in potentially signing Kadioglu.
After an impressive showing in the Euros earlier this summer, Kadioglu is a player in demand with plenty of Premier League clubs said to be keen.
As if Forest didn’t need any further encouragement to pursue the ‘superstar‘, the player is said to be really keen to make the move to England.
