With his future at the Ligue 1 side uncertain, Steve Cooper's side have been credited with interest in the attacking playmaker. According to Sport Express, Forest are joined by Fulham as the clubs interested in Yazici.
Speaking to Sport Express, the player's agent, Adam Chebedzhi, said: "Yes, Fulham and Nottingham Forest are interested in Yusuf. Now the clubs are negotiating. But I want to say again that CSKA will hold a special place in our hearts."
The Reds have been busy in the transfer window so far, with four new faces already signed prior to the start of their pre-season schedule. Forward Taiwo Awoniyi was the first through the door before defenders Giulian Biancone and Moussa Niakhate joined from Troyes and Mainz O5.
Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has also joined on a season-long loan deal, with Wayne Hennessey and Neco Williams heavily tipped with moves to the East Midlands.
