On January 17th, we covered a report from Tutto Mercato Web, who claimed that Yohan Benalouane was attracting interest from Benevento and Verona, while Pescara ‘thinks of’ the Leicester City defender to strengthen their back four.

Having failed to feature in any fixtures this season and with six months left on his contract, the 31-year-old was drawing attention from clubs in Serie B.

Another report from Tutto Mercato Web explains the former Parma man will not return to Italy as he’s set to continue in England, but not with the Foxes.

Nottingham Forest have shown interest in the centre-back and he’s joining the Championship side, with whom he has already reached an agreement for a contract until 2021.

The report also claims that Benalouane has rejected advances from Pescara, Benevento and Verona to join Martin O’Neill’s side.

Benalouane will hoping his time with Nottingham Forest won’t be as disappointing as his career with Leicester City.
