Nottingham Forest Intensifies Negotiations to Sign Anan Khalaily from Saint-Gilloise

Negotiations are ongoing between Nottingham Forest and Belgian club Saint-Gilloise for the transfer of winger Anan Khalaily. After an initial offer of 20 million euros, including 17.5 million guaranteed, was rejected by Saint-Gilloise, talks continue as the Belgian side demands a sum closer to 25 million euros, matching a previous agreement with Inter Milan. Khalaily, who recently failed to secure a move to Inter, is expected to play in the Belgian Super Cup against Club Brugge, potentially one of his last matches in Belgium.

Nottingham Forest's new coach, Oliver Glasner, who favors a 3-5-2 formation, has expressed interest in Khalaily since his time at Crystal Palace. Forest, which narrowly avoided relegation last season, is keen to strengthen its squad with the promising winger, who is currently in good form and recently assisted a goal in a friendly against Lille. The transfer talks remain active as both clubs work to bridge the valuation gap.
