Nottingham Forest have reportedly offered "a lot of money" to hijack Real Betis' bid to sign Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar.
It was reported last month that Forest faced competition from the Spanish side, who were eyeing a swap deal for Aouar, involving another one-time Reds target, William Carvalho. However, journalist Matteo Moretto says there has been no progress on that deal between the two clubs.
He claims that agreeing personal terms with Aouar could be a stumbling block for Betis. And while the Frenchman would be keen on the move to Spain, there have apparently been other clubs interested and Forest have offered the most money, according to Moretto.
