Nottingham Forest are looking to do some business for a number of players this summer as Vitor Pereira gets his feet under the table.
Pereira isn’t going to sign a new contract this summer as both he and the club take stock of things in the opening months of the season.

Signings will be sought across the board and naturally, the World Cup will likely make the transfer market a little bit tricky to negotiate this summer.
Forest have been linked with Davide Frattesi so far this summer and now it would appear as though the Reds have pulled the plug on another deal from Serie A.

Nottingham Forest stall over Jan Ziolkowski
Reports had suggested that Forest were close to bolstering their defence with the addition of Roma player Ziolkowski.
However, it’s believed that Forest have actually decided to pause negotiations for the 21-year-old centre-back.
According to La Roma 24, Roma still want to sell Ziolkowski given their financial predicament.
It’s not clear why Forest have paused negotiations and it remains to be seen whether it’s anything to do with Lina Souloukou leaving the City Ground as the club’s CEO last week.
It’s believed that Forest could return later in the window but perhaps signing a backup central defender isn’t considered a priority for the Reds right now.
Something does feel strange with this one considering Roma only want around £13 million for his signature and that proving a drop in the ocean for Forest in terms of their spending.
Brandt, Vlahovic and Bissouma are all free agents… who should Nottingham Forest sign? ✍️
Ziolkowski has only made 23 appearances for Roma and that inexperience perhaps makes him no better than Jair Cunha which could be coming into the thinking of Forest.
This deal looks to be dead for what it’s worth and it would cause no sleepless nights for supporters if the Polish performer ended up moving elsewhere.
