Nottingham Forest ready to break the bank for Assane Diao

With three months to go before the start of the 2025-2026 Champions League, Nottingham Forest is boldly showcasing its ambitions. Almost qualified for the prestigious European competition, the Premier League club is preparing to invest heavily to strengthen its offensive lineup. The name prominently on the management's radar: Assane Diao.

The young Senegalese winger, on a meteoric rise, is at the top of the priority list for the Forest technical staff. According to the English press, Nottingham Forest is ready to put 40 million euros on the table to secure his services.

The sudden interest in Diao is not surprising. Arriving in Lombardy in early January for 12 million euros, the 19-year-old left winger quickly established himself as a key player in the Italian squad. In 14 Serie A matches, he scored six goals and provided one assist. Aware of the Senegalese player's impact, Como 1907 has no intention of letting him go this summer. Will Nottingham Forest manage to convince the Italian club? Stay tuned…
