Nottingham Forest Manager Nuno Espirito Santo aims to use the 2025 summer transfer window to strengthen a squad that qualified Europe last semester.
Given how the club performs throughout 2024/25, Forest has a great chance to win the conference league.
Santo admires many potential targets including Yunus Musah and Lukas Ullrich, but it seems like a Serie A is compared to most people, and a Serie A is compared to…
Latest information about Nottingham Forest’s interest in Timothy Weal
As widely reported earlier this month, including through the transfer of insider Gianluca di Marzio, Forest is considered interested in signing Timothy Weah this summer.
If Juventus agrees to make money, it seems like Juventus is asking for only £12 million, which looks like a solid business for the club.
Last season, the Americans played 43 times for the Serie A Giants, scoring six goals and five assists in the process.
On top flights, he recorded an impressive target conversion percentage of 24%, while also creating four big opportunities, with an average of 0.6 hits per game.
Last year, he spanned multiple positions, mainly on the right, which is where the central region is eager to strengthen.
However, after strengthening the pursuit of Celtic lenders, journalist Ben Jacobs revealed on Friday that despite the “extensive data analysis”, the Forest has actually left any negotiations, despite the deal being “close.”
So, urban ground clothing may need to turn attention elsewhere, and a Brazilian star appears to be on the radar…
Why Nottingham Forest must sign Pepe
As ESPN reported earlier this week, four Premier League clubs have opened talks this summer to sign Port Porto Winger Pepe.
Forest was appointed as one of the clubs along with Aston Villa, Fulham and Burnley. The fact that Santo brought them to Europe shows that they have the potential to be one of the leaders.

There is no doubt that a £21 million fee has been set, which is affordable for the central region.
While the Weah may be the cheap option, Pepe is certainly a bigger talent. Last season, Dynamo Brazil scored an impressive 11 goals in all competitions.
When comparing with their domestic statistics last semester, it was obvious who liked productive sports. Indeed, not only did Pepe record more shots per 90 (1.36 vs 1.15), but he also recorded more shooting moves (2.71 vs 1.98), goal moves (0.36 vs 0.16) and touches (0.36 vs 0.16) in the opponent’s penalty area (79 vs 35), showing his strengths on these degrees.
South American football expert Tim Vickery praised the winger when contacting Totterham Hotspur a few seasons ago, saying:
“I certainly remember him as a winger with Gremio, and the little Mosquito is a bit like a winger and can do any wing.”
His ability to play on either wing may also come in handy, giving Santo some flexibility, especially when injuries start to work.
Obviously, the manager wants to bring those forests that are proven at the maximum stage. Pepe will be a good signing after the UEFA Champions League and the Copa Libertadores and the Europa League and two blocks.
