His decision will be based on which club can convince him over their project and whether they can meet his salary demands.

The 24-year-old previously played for Red Bull Salzburg and signed off with the Austrian giants with 22 goals in 42 appearances in his final season in 2020/21.
Forest interested in Leeds target
