Nottingham Forest are going to be extremely busy in the summer transfer window as the club prepares to dip their toe into European football once again next season.

Igor Jesus is set to sign for Forest from Botafogo. He could be joined by two other Brazilian players, with left-back Cuiabano and central defender Jair Cunha also on the radar.

Elsewhere, Danilo has been linked with Lyon, whilst Anthony Elanga and Morgan Gibbs-White have both been touted with Newcastle and Manchester City, respectively.

Forest are yet to release their retained list just yet, with the club mulling over a few things, with a big summer anticipated ahead of the UEFA Conference League next season.

Harry Toffolo wanted by Rangers

The left-back is among those players who will be featured on the retained list, with Toffolo out of contract at the City Ground this summer following three years at the club.

Toffolo drew praise from Alan Shearer after a brilliant goal-line clearance against Tottenham, but his appearances over the past 12 months have been fleeting at the very best.

Now, according to The Sun on Sunday (Print Edition; page 59), Russell Martin is very keen to take Toffolo north of the border and make him one of his first signings as the new Rangers manager.

Toffolo is unlikely to be handed an extension to his contract at Forest. He has made 57 appearances since signing from Huddersfield in 2022 and has largely been considered a fan favourite since checking in.

Forest fans will wish Toffolo well

Although he’s rarely been considered as a first-team regular at Forest, he’s still proved a very popular player with the fans and behind the scenes in the dressing room.

With that in mind, Toffolo will be sent on his way with his best wishes, provided Forest don’t have a late change of heart and offer the 29-year-old a new contract on Trentside.

Rangers would be a very good club for him to join. He would get to sample European football at Ibrox, and he’d get to play in front of huge crowds each and every week.

Toffolo has been a model professional during his time at Forest. In another world, the club would be able to offer him an extension but with lots of work to do to bolster the squad, perhaps it’s in the best interests of everyone that he heads to pastures new for next season.
