Nottingham Forest have just over two weeks to complete their summer business, but they face stiff competition for one of their goals.
Nuno Espirito Santo must be pleased with the work that has been done behind the scenes at Forest this summer.
Evangelos Marinakis has already sanctioned six new signings, with more expected in the following weeks.
Forest are now close to signing Ramon Sosa, as the player arrives in England for a physical after weeks of discussions.
However, it appears that the Reds will face stiff competition in securing one of their remaining objectives.
Paris Saint-Germain now interested in Nottingham Forest target
Forest has been very active this summer, and they have finished their business relatively early.
Most of their signings arrived at the City Ground in time for Nuno’s entire pre-season, having participated in the Spain training camp
According to Romain Collet-Gaudin, Paris Saint-Germain is now very interested in signing left-back Bradley Locko before the end of the summer.
The Ligue 1 club is now looking for a successor for right-back Achraf Hakimi this summer.
2 infos mercato PSG :
– En plus du dossier Ugarte/Sancho, possible échange mais Paris demande trop actuellement à Manchester United.
– Le PSG s’active pour la fin du mercato sur Locko et Geertruida pour le poste de latéral droit en numéro 2 derrière Hakimi.— Romain Collet-Gaudin (@RomainCG75) August 14, 2024
Although Locko is regarded as a natural left-back, the Frenchman can also play on the opposite side of the defence.
The 22-year-old will now return to Stade Brest following his performance in this summer’s Olympics under Thierry Henry’s supervision.
Nottingham Forest are keen on Bradley Locko
Although PSG is interested in the defender, the Premier League has also expressed interest in Locko this summer.
Forest are interested in Locko, who is valued at £13 million, and would be willing to offer him a significantly higher wage if he agreed to transfer from Ligue 1.
However, the Reds will now have enormous challenges in completing this transaction.
The article also claims PSG is interested in signing Jadon Sancho from Manchester United, as if any Forest fan is unaware of the French champions’ market clout.
Locko may find the potential of regular Premier League action appealing, but it will undoubtedly be a tall order.
