Back in May, we covered a lengthy interview by Sportske Novosti with El Arabi Hillel Soudani, who saw a move to Nottingham Forest blocked in January.
The reason for that was Dinamo Zagreb wanting to hold onto their prolific striker, deeming their best player too important to sell in their quest to qualify for the Champions League.
24Sata, a different outlet, then explained that once the Croatian side would allow their star to leave once they had qualified for the elite European competition.
Desperate to play in England, the 30-year-old was disappointed but not entirely unhappy to have to wait until the end of the season, but it appears Nottingham Forest are yet to return.
Corriere dello Sport in Italy claim the forward is close to a move to Cagliari, having already given the Serie A side his availability to a move to Sardinia.
The transfer is said to be ‘very advanced’, with Soudani potentially signing a two year contract with the Italian club.
Nottingham Forest are mentioned in the article, named as one of the clubs who have moved for the forward, alongside some clubs from Bundesliga, but there’s no mention of them being a serious threat to Cagliari.
If the Championship side really want the Algeria international, they’re going to have to move very quickly.
