Aston Villa and Brentford have been told they must stump up £60million if they want to sign Wales star Brennan Johnson from Nottingham Forest this summer.
The attacker, who featured for Rob Page's side in Wales' recent Euro 2024 qualifiers with Armenia and Turkey, has been the subject of transfer interest from the Bees already this summer, with a £30million offer said to have been rebuffed by City Ground chiefs.
The Sun now report the Reds have slapped a price tag double that valuation around Johnson's neck to ward off other top-flight clubs in a stark transfer jolt to Forest's rivals.
