Nottingham Forest may be in the market for a goalkeeper this summer, and Roberto looks to be an option. Aitor Karanka’s current No.1 is Costel Pantilimon, but the Romanian is only on loan from Watford until the end of the season.

The Championship side’s owner Vangelis Marinakis knows Roberto from his spell at Olympiacos, and Nottingham Forest manager Karanka is also likely to be aware of his compatriot.

Roberto has played 33 games for Malaga this season.
