Nottingham Forest are now preparing for life as a Premier League club next season after ensuring survival.
Last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Newcastle saw the Reds safe for another season, with West Ham now the team staring relegation in the face.
If Elliot Anderson is worth £120m then how much is Morgan Gibbs-White worth after that performance?
Wow! ⭐
Forest were left frustrated with the referee in yesterday’s 3-2 defeat to Manchester United, but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t matter that much.
Instead, Forest look to be focusing on signing a number of players behind the scenes as the club gears up for a fifth straight season in the Premier League.
Nottingham Forest want Mateus Mane
According to Sports Boom, Forest are the latest club now keen to pursue a deal for Mane with Wolves heading back to the Championship.
Forest join a long list of clubs keen on the teenager, with Liverpool and Manchester United both keen to make a bid for the talented 18-year-old.
Mane scored against Wolves in the final Premier League game at Molineux yesterday, and it looks impossible that the club will keep hold of the versatile forward next season.
The youngster has scored three goals and claimed two assists in the Premier League this season, with the youngster making 26 appearances to aid his development.
It’s not clear at this stage how much Mane would cost Forest, but given that he’s got experience of playing in the Premier League, this one could be a very useful deal for the here and now.
Would Mateus Mane be a good first summer signing for Nottingham Forest or do we need more experience?🤔
Mane has also been linked with Liverpool and Manchester United!
What has been said about Mateus Mane
Current Wolves boss Rob Edwards called Mane ‘fantastic’ earlier this season, and he might want to keep hold of the player beyond this summer.
Furthermore, Pereira praised Mane back in October too.
He admitted that he wanted to keep Mane at Wolves and pushed the club to hand him a new deal.
Pereira told the Express and Star: “It was me last season that pushed the club a lot to keep Mane and to renew the contract of Mane, because I believe he will be a top player in this league, not only at our club, but in this league generally.”
Now, Pereira will likely make a personal push for Forest to complete this deal and landing Mane would make for a very strong start to the summer transfer window.
