Nottingham Forest bid for Atalanta defender Merih Demiral

Nottingham Forest are said to have put in an approach for Atalanta defender Merih Demiral.

The 25-year-old, who is an experienced Turkish international, is available for transfer.

With his Italian club hoping to shake up their squad, Demiral may welcome a move to the Premier League.

Per the Mail, Forest are ready to put in a bid of around 17 million for the center half.

The issue is whether Demiral is ready to sign for Forest, or if he would prefer to wait for other offers.

He may feel that a club higher up the Premier League table may also come in for him.
