Nottingham Forest eyes summer squad overhaul with key exits and new targets

Nottingham Forest is preparing a busy summer transfer window. The club has been linked with Italian midfielder Davide Frattesi, who reportedly values around £27 million and has shown renewed interest in joining the Premier League side after previous rejections. Forest’s recruitment staff see Frattesi as a potential replacement if midfielder Elliot Anderson departs.

The club’s retained list confirms that four senior players will leave on free transfers: goalkeepers Stefan Ortega and Angus Gunn, centre‑back Willy Boly, and striker Lorenzo Lucca, who returns to Napoli. Other players face uncertain futures, with speculation that Anderson could move to Manchester City, Nicolo Savona to Atalanta, and several loanees likely to be sold or loaned elsewhere as Forest aims to strengthen the squad for a push for European competition.
