Michy Batshuayi of Fenerbahçe piqued Nottingham Forest’s interest towards the end of the previous window.
According to reports from the Turkish media back in August, his agent was reportedly in England attempting to finalize the transfer, but the Tricky Trees were unable to close the deal.
The 30-year-old was unable to secure a transfer, and Nottingham Forest may have another chance to sign him in January. That is according to Sözcü, who also claim that RC Lens and Steve Cooper’s side are pursuing the forward.
Batshuayi has struggled to get regular game time this season, so his decision to stay with the Istanbul club hasn’t worked out.
Due to Edin Dōeko’s preference over him, Fenerbahçe manager İsmail Kartal has limited his playing time to 76 minutes across four league games.
After the international break, the Belgium international returned to his club, and Kartal asked him to get ready for the next games. The report claims that the player did not respond, though.
Fenerbahçe officials have thus “decided to part ways” with him in January, which will benefit Nottingham Forest as well as Lens.
The former Chelsea player’s contract expires in 2024, with an option for an additional year. According to Sözcü, the Turkish club hopes to get €10 million for his sale in the winter market.
