Nottingham Forest have been linked with Argentina international Franco Armani as they face having to consider their goalkeeping options.
The Reds could lose first-choice Brice Samba this summer, in what would be a blow ahead of their return to the Premier League. With 12 months left on his contract, the 28-year-old is said to have deemed the terms of a new one “unacceptable” and told the club he is prepared to leave during this transfer window.
Unless the situation can be resolved, Forest would have to decide between cashing in on Samba now or seeing him leave as a free agent next year. Lens are said to have made a direct enquiry about securing his services.
