Nottingham Forest line up for £13million

By their own usual standards, so far it has been a very quiet transfer window for Nottingham Forest – although it has been reported that the capture of £10 million botafogo striker Igor Jesus was reportedly completed.
In the first two seasons of the Premier League, Garibal signed 24th, then signed 11 senior players, and then won only ten times last season.
So now, will they further improve their transfer business with confirmation that Jesus’ deal seems to be coming?
Nottingham Forest Chase Defensive Reinforcement
Of course, after seventh place last season, Nottingham Forest was preparing to compete in Europe for the first time since 1995/96, with Bayern Munich abandoning it in the quarterfinals of the then European Football Club Cup.
This time, Nuno Espírito Santo is currently planning to participate in the conference league, although they can play into the Europa League if Crystal Palace is eliminated due to multi-club ownership rules.
Either way, they will have a match that is exponentially satisfied, so a bigger team is needed, so why Flintik’s report claims Forest is in a £13m offer from central defender Arseniy Batagov, despite his club Trabzonspor holding the price of nearly £17m.
The 23-year-old Ukrainian started his high school career at Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk before joining Zorya Luhansk, making 63 appearances for them and captivating the eyes of Trabzonspor, who signed Trabzonspor for about 1.5ma in advance.
Batagov also gained international recognition, starting all three games in Ukraine at the Olympics last summer, then did the same game last month at the U21 euro and against the Netherlands at Prešov.
So now, can he go to the city ground?
How Arseniy Batahov improves Nottingham Forest
Despite their FA Cup semi-finals, Nottingham Forest played only 44 games in all competitions last season, and if they went all the way into Europe, it was possible to play 17 games alone in Europe, and if they went all the way into the finals, there would be more options to be needed.
As can be said, Nuno’s starting centre-back has remained the same throughout the campaign, as described in the table below.

In short, the table emphasizes that Nikola Milenković and Murillo played almost every minute of nearly every game last season, which is understandable as Premier League’s Adrian Clarke considers them the best pairing in the division.
Meanwhile, Morato was mainly used with the aforementioned duo, when Nuno turned three, usually in the game, and the fourth option, Willy Boly, was 250 minutes less than James Ward-Prowse, despite returning to West Ham in January, which made him lacking importance.
However, this time, Mirenkovic and Murillo cannot start, possibly more than 60 games, so a competent agent is needed.
Well, Badahov seems to have the attributes of HayatımızFutbol’s “quality” players, and they also praised his “positioning” and “entertainment ability” from behind. Like Murillo, promising left foot usually runs at the left center back.
Meanwhile, he was also labeled as Ukraine’s next “promising prodigy”, making 23 appearances for Trabzonspor this season, most notably starting with May’s Türkiye Kupası finals as his team beat Gaziantep 3-0 in Gaziantep.
Badahov scored in the final against İskenderunspor, but his campaign was largely hampered by various injuries, although it showed that his qualities remained interested in him.
Like Murillo, after only 27 appearances on Brazil, it wasn’t much for Batahov when he arrived at the Corinthians for two summers after £15m from the Corinthians.
That said, this wildcard move, in Murillo’s captive mode, could lead to repetitive success, as the Ukrainian certainly has the potential to improve and become a star, as his potential future teammates do in the city.
