Nottingham Forest ‘preparing new assault’ after club rejected bid – Price tag doesn’t frighten PL side

On December 14th, Cronache Salerno reported Nottingham Forest view Lassana Coulibaly as an ideal target and have put €7m bid on the table to sign the Salernitana player.

La Città di Salerno relay this claim and add the Serie A side have already turned down the Tricky Trees’ €7m offer for the midfielder in recent weeks.

This has not put off Nottingham Forest as they are ‘preparing a new assault’ to sign the 26-year-old in the winter market. That’s the only update shared about the English club in the report.

Salernitana are looking at the Premier League to bolster their squad in the next window. This is discussed by Tutto Salernitana, who add the Italian club face ‘risk’ seeing some of their own players make a switch to England.

The Mali international gets a mention because of Nottingham Forest’s interest in him, and it’s claimed that Steve Cooper’s side have ‘no intention of being frightened’ by the €8m price tag requested by the Serie A club for Coulibaly.

This means that with Nottingham Forest preparing to make a fresh approach, Salernitana could face ‘risk’ of losing Coulibaly in January, albeit for a nice fee.
