Nottingham Forest will reshuffle some things this summer, with players set to leave the club before the window closes.
Although incoming business will be what increases the excitement levels, some room will need to be made in the squad for new recruits.
Anthony Elanga is wanted by Newcastle before the season starts, but Forest have told the Magpies that he will cost no less than £60 million.
Nuno Espirito Santo will want to keep his best players, and that could mean some of the club’s squad options going out instead.
Ramon Sosa is being courted by Palmeiras, and it doesn’t appear as though he has any future at the club beyond the summer.
Jota Silva is top of the shortlist for European club
The future of Jota Silva is up in the air from a Forest perspective.
Although Silva might fancy staying at Forest, the writing could be on the wall with a number of clubs keen to sign him this summer.
According to Turkish reports, Besiktas are keen to sign Silva on a loan-to-buy deal, with the Portuguese player placed at the top of the shortlist this summer.
It’s claimed that an offer has already been made by the Europa League outfit for Silva, with Forest aware of the interest.
Silva must be replaced by Forest
Although he’s been very hit and miss, Forest can’t afford to dwell when it comes to replacing him this summer.
Silva did do a pretty useful job some of the time when he was called upon from the bench, and the depth would be left depleted if he departed.
With Sosa going as well, Forest have some serious work to do on the flanks to provide some competition for Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Silva will crave regular football, and moving to Besiktas should give him that opportunity.
Forest, however, have to get busy and losing Silva and Sosa means the club must have something up their sleeve with regard to signings.
