Nottingham Forest reportedly appears “to be the likeliest destination” for Maxwel Cornet in the race for the Burnley ace’s signature.
A number of Premier League clubs are keen on the attacker, following the Clarets’ relegation to the Championship. Along with the Reds, Everton and Fulham have also been credited with an interest.
According to the Daily Mail, previous offers from the Toffees and the Cottagers comprise loans with a fee and an option to pay about £20m in 12 months’ time. But it is claimed Burnley want Forest to shell out £17.5m to meet Cornet’s release clause in one go, or up that amount to secure his signature.
