Yuri Alberto rejected Nottingham Forest terms and conditions and decided leaving due to….
Taiwo Awoniyi remained a Nottingham Forest player after intense speculation about his future in January, but the latest update on Forest’s transfer plans could bring back these rumours in the summer.
Forest chose to keep hold of Awoniyi after no clear deal to sign another striker in January became available to Evangelos Marinakis, who wouldn’t have wanted to leave Nuno Espirito Santo short up front.
In truth, though, the season has been somewhat miserable for Awoniyi as, with Chris Wood breaking Forest scoring records, opportunities have been limited for the Nigerian striker.
Awoniyi picked up a knock against Exeter City in his latest chance to start which only would’ve added to his frustrations, especially given that he managed to score in that game which would’ve been a big boost to his confidence.
Even now that Espirito Santo expects Awoniyi to be fit to face Newcastle United, Wood continued his goalscoring habits in Forest’s loss against Fulham so the backup striker will have little chance of displacing the Kiwi international on Sunday, or any game if Wood continues to fire.
Such is the case, Awoniyi will have to settle for his backup role in the Forest squad for now, which could get even worse if the latest transfer update surrounding the club is anything to go by.
Nottingham Forest will reignite their interest in Yuri Alberto
A deal was never done but it was clear that Forest would’ve signed a new attacker in January if an opportunity presented itself, with Marinakis already chasing a new striker for the summer.
Forest could return for Yoane Wissa after seeing a bid rejected in January, but one name that looks to be of particular interest is Yuri Alberto, who is fresh off a 31-goal season for Corinthians.
