Unhappy at Man City? £55m star eyes exit as surprise Premier League club launch bid

Forest find themselves in a strong financial position to pursue high-value targets this summer. The East Midlands outfit recently sanctioned the sale of star midfielder Elliot Anderson to Manchester City for a reported fee of up to £116m. That landmark sale has provided Forest with considerable capital to re-invest into their playing squad.

However, the club’s hierarchy must carefully evaluate whether spending £55m on Reijnders represents sound business. The Netherlands international struggled to adapt during his initial year in the Premier League. Furthermore, at 28 years old, he is not the youngest option on the market, raising questions over his long-term valuation.
