Nottingham Forest: Musah Targeted After Weah Deal Falls Through

There had been reports of Nottingham Forest edging closer to a double deal with Juventus for two players, paying a total €23m for Weah and Samuel Mbangula.

Now La Gazzetta dello Sport adds that Weah specifically has no intention of making the move to Nottingham Forest.

This prompted them to turn their focus to his fellow USMNT and Serie A player, Musah.

Talks with Forest are at an early stage right now, but the 22-year-old is versatile, able to cover central midfield or wide right roles.

Milan paid €21.2m to sign Musah from Valencia in 2023 and this season he featured in 40 competitive games, providing three assists.
