Nottingham Forest are going in search of some new players this summer as Oliver Glasner gets his feet under the table.
The Reds won 2-0 at Notts County on Saturday to get things kicked off in style, and Glasner will want to further implement his ideas on the squad as pre-season progresses.
Where would Nottingham Forest finish in the Premier League with a back three of Murillo, Diomande and Milenkovic?
Let us know your thoughts in the comments below…
Forest are keen to sign Xaver Schlager, and that deal could be completed in time for him to join the team on their pre-season trip to Portugal.
A new full-back is also the order of the day, and Glasner wants a few players to arrive before the season gets underway in August.
Nottingham Forest stalled in Dodo quest
Fiorentina defender Dodo has been linked with Forest this summer, and it would appear that things were close to coming to fruition for the Reds.
However, the former teammate of Nikola Milenkovic’s move to the Premier League has now stalled, according to Italian journalist Marco Barzaghi.
He said: “We’d also said that Vanderson of Monaco was a player to keep a close eye on.
“Dodô looked set to join Nottingham Forest, but now Roma have come back strongly into the race.
“Roma had Zeki Çelik snatched from under their noses by Juventus in a genuine surprise swoop.
“So they could now try to move quickly to complete a deal, with Gian Piero Gasperini due to speak this afternoon— he is furious about how things have unfolded.”
Forest might have to move on from Dodo
Although the Brazilian player would be a very useful signing, it looks as though he might be waiting around to see if a better offer comes his way.
Milenkovic might have stuck a word in with Dodo, but it would appear as though things have well and truly stalled at the moment as Forest search for a new left-back.
Roma are firmly in the race now, and the desire to stay in Italy could come into play for Dodo as he prepares to choose his next club.
Dodo has been with Fiorentina for four years, with the player making 161 appearances for the first team, scoring three goals and claiming 13 assists.
Now, the Reds will have to play a waiting game on this deal, and perhaps attention will already be turning towards another target.
