Nottingham Forest transfers – ‘concrete interest’ in defender, £17.5m swoop mooted

Nottingham Forest are linked with January moves for Birmingham City defender Phil Neumann and Vasco da Gama winger Andres Gomez. Reports indicate the Premier League club has concrete interest in the 29-year-old Neumann, who joined Birmingham on a free transfer in 2025 and is valued between €5 million and €10 million (£4-8m). Forest head coach Oliver Glasner is assessing his squad options ahead of the winter transfer window.

Forest have also been credited with interest in 24-year-old Colombian winger Gomez, who carries a reported price tag of €18-20 million (£16-17.5m). The Nottingham Post notes that Birmingham would likely require a significant fee to sell Neumann, while questions remain regarding how Gomez would fit into Glasner's preferred tactical setup.
