Nottingham Forest now keen to sign £21,000-a-week midfielder on free transfer

Nottingham Forest are now keen to secure a free transfer this summer as Evangelos

Marinakis looks to cut down on spending – after the breach of financial rules.

It was A Bola in Portugal who provided the information.

Who, then, does Nottingham Forest hope to sign this summer on a free transfer? Let’s examine this.

When Leandro Barreiro’s contract with Mainz 05 expires in July, Nottingham Forest is eager to sign him

on a free transfer, according to A Bola.

Within the Bundesliga team, the 52-cap Luxembourg international is well-liked. Director of Football

Martin Schmidt has acknowledged that he will do all “humanly possible” to extend the contract of his

No. 8.

The Portuguese news source, however, asserts that Barreiro has already made the decision to end his

contract and pursue a different endeavor.

A Bola add that Benfica moved quickly and find themselves in pole position to sign the man from

Erpeldingen – it is even said that the Primeira Liga outfit have agreed a deal.

Although neither party has officially verified this information, according to A Bola, Nottingham Forest

still has a strong chance of signing the £21,000-per-week player this summer.

This season, Barreiro has made 23 appearances for Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga and has two goals from

central midfield.

challenging to organize

Although it is extremely difficult to plan forward in the current situation, Nottingham Forest would be

wise to sign an experienced international like Barreiro on a free transfer.
