Nottingham Forest sent emphatic £100m message as Aston Villa eye transfer

A price-tag of £60m for Brennan Johnson is not high enough for Nottingham Forest supporters, who would be reluctant to wave goodbye to the homegrown forward at any price.

A £30m offer from Brentford has already been rejected for the Wales international, but the Bees and Aston Villa are said to retain an interest. However, it would require a significant fee to convince Forest to part with Johnson, with the Sun reporting that a £60m valuation must be met.

That figure is still not high enough for Reds fans though. They either want to see it get closer to £100m, making comparisons to the supposed £90m price-tag that Fulham have put on midfielder Joao Palhinha, or not sell at all, and instead build around Johnson as the club look to push up the table this coming season.
