Club president confirms 'offers' for defender amid Nottingham Forest links

Besiktas president Ahmet Nur Cebi has confirmed the club has received offers for Romain Saiss amid transfer links to Nottingham Forest.

The former Wolves defender has reportedly been on the Reds' radar for some time. Reports earlier this week claimed the club were preparing to make a £3.4million bid for his services.

But Forest aren't the only ones said to be interested in the Morocco international. Ligue 1 outfit Marseille have also been monitoring the player's situation.

There are set to be a number of incomings and outgoings at Besiktas this summer, with Saiss likely to be heading towards the exit. The Super Lig side are said to want at least €4 million (£3m) for the 33-year-old, who is approaching the final year of his contract but the club have the option to extend it for a further year.

Nur Cebi did not reveal which clubs have bid for the defender. Besiktas would prefer for Saiss to remain at the Vodafone Stadium, however.

"I told Saiss that we want to continue with him, there are offers," Nur Cebi told Aksam Spor. "He said, ‘If there are favourable conditions, will you pave the way for me?’ We will see what happens tomorrow."
