Evangelos Marinakis accepts mistake as Nottingham Forest willing to let £5m player leave Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad
Nottingham Forest are busy reshuffling their squad ahead of the new season and it’s fair to say that more activity is taking place when it comes to players leaving the club.
Nuno Espirito Santo has seen Forest sell Anthony Elanga to Newcastle, while Morgan Gibbs-White is being courted heavily by Tottenham ahead of the new season.
Elsewhere, Danilo has headed back to Brazil to join Botafogo and Andrew Omobamidele has signed permanent terms with Strasbourg after a successful loan spell.
Igor Jesus will begin training with Forest on Monday and Ross Wilson hailed Jair Cunha after the 6ft 6in defender also checked in from Botafogo this summer.
Forest are keen to add some players to the ranks, but first, there is another player set to depart from the City Ground in the coming weeks.
Nottingham Forest willing to accept mistake on Marko Stamenic
This might be the least surprising news of the transfer window, but reports are now claiming that Stamenic is set to return to Olympiacos on loan.
The New Zealand international won the league and cup double with Olympiacos last season and has featured in friendly games against Chesterfield and Monaco for Forest.
Stamenic might not be on the plane to Portugal, however, with Evangelos Marinakis now seemingly set to send him back on loan to the Greek champions.
The player signed a five-year contract at Forest last summer, costing the club a relatively measly £5 million from Red Star Belgrade.
Stamenic will face fight to make competitive Forest appearance
Nothing against Stamenic but this does feel a little bit like a signing that has been made to basically help Olympiacos out.
Although the attacking midfielder is at a decent age, he’s never played in a top league, and now he looks set to be spending another year in Greece.
The Premier League is such a tough league that it’s hard to imagine Stamenic ever making an impact in the top-flight, with Forest likely to have money to spend each and every year in the division.
If Stamenic can’t get a proper run in pre-season when Danilo, Gibbs-White and Elanga have all departed the City Ground, it really does feel like the writing might already be on the wall for the player.
