Nottingham Forest apparently "do not want" to pay the £25million fee touted for Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
Forest do want to sign Henderson, who spent the 2022-23 season on loan at the City Ground, but will be hoping to pay a lower fee than the one Man United are said to want. Henderson was in fine form for Forest before injury cut his season short over the winter and he was replaced by Keylor Navas.
The Reds still think highly of Henderson and will make a bid to sign the 26-year-old permanently, but such talks won't start until the future of David De Gea is resolved, with United keen to give the soon-to-be out-of-contract goalkeeper a new deal.

According to The Athletic, Forest "can match" Henderson's Man United wages one they agree a fee. They say a transfer "could be wrapped up quickly" once United have certainty on De Gea's future.
Henderson made 18 appearances for Forest in the Premier League last season and become a fans' favourite at the City Ground. With Navas' loan also expired, Forest need goalkeeping reinforcements and a move for Henderson is something of a no-brainer.
Forest will be able to give him the regular first team football he deserves, and an impressive run of Premier League performances could give him a chance at getting back into the England squad in the months and years ahead.
