Nottingham Forest Target £26m USA International for Summer Transfer

According to reports from Italy, Nottingham Forest have set their sights on AC Milan midfielder Yunus Musah for a potential summer transfer. The 22-year-old USA international is believed to be available for around £26 million (€30 million).

Musah has struggled to find consistent form at Milan this season, with a recent poor performance against Fiorentina leading to his substitution in the first half. This has fueled speculation about his future at the club.

Forest are not alone in their interest, with Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United also reportedly monitoring the situation. However, Forest’s potential qualification for the Champions League could give them an edge in negotiations.

Despite his recent difficulties, Musah has shown promise in key areas:

• Assists: 0.12 per 90 minutes (73rd percentile among midfielders)
• Successful take-ons: 1.43 per 90 minutes (96th percentile)
• Progressive carries: 3.25 per 90 minutes (98th percentile)

At just 22 years old, Musah still has significant potential for development. A move to Nottingham Forest could provide him with a fresh start and the opportunity to showcase his talents in the Premier League.

Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo is looking to strengthen his squad ahead of a potential European campaign next season. Musah’s versatility and ability to progress the ball could make him an attractive option for the Midlands club.

While AC Milan fans have grown frustrated with Musah’s performances, a change of scenery could help the young midfielder rediscover his best form. At the reported price of £26 million, he could prove to be a shrewd investment for Nottingham Forest as they look to establish themselves as a force in English football.
