Offer has been tabled for Nottingham Forest player – Director travelling for talks

There’s a claim in the Turkish media that Fenerbahce have stepped up their pursuit to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Ibrahim Sangare.

The Turkish side have made it their priority to sign a central midfielder this summer and have been linked with a number of targets in recent weeks.

Aspor report on Fenerbahce’s aim to sign a central midfielder after Jose Mourinho instructed the club’s hierarchy this was the department which needed strengthening in this window.

It’s claimed the Yellow Canaries have come in with an offer for the Nottingham Forest player which could eventually total €20m.

There’s no indication on whether the Premier League side have agreed to the offer, but they would be taking a big hit on the Ivorian if they were to accept the bid. Sangare cost Forest £30m when he arrived from PSV last summer.

Only yesterday we covered reports from Turkey that Fener sporting director Mario Branco was travelling to England this week to hold transfer talks with the Ivory Coast international.

Branco was also said to be looking to have negotiations with his club.
