Besiktas centre-back Romain Saiss is reportedly set to join Nottingham Forest in the summer.
Forest are said to have initially made an enquiry over the centre-back in the January window when Steve Cooper looked to boost his defensive options. The Reds then saw a €3million bid turned down by the club, after the Turkish side deemed the offer for their player, "insufficient."
Saiss, who was wanted by former manager Valerien Ismael, has since found it difficult to adapt under new boss Senol Gunes' playing system. According to Turkish outlet Fanatik, the Morocco international will be "allowed to leave" in the summer, with his place "already filled" by Omar Colley.

The report highlights that Saiss is "planned to be transferred" to Forest, with Besiktas expecting to receive €5m for his transfer. A return to the Premier League could be on the cards for the 32-year-old who spent six seasons at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
