Primeira Liga outfit Braga are reportedly looking to sell Nikola Vukcevic, who has been linked with Championship outfit Nottingham Forest.
Nottingham Forest’s links with the Braga midfielder Nikola Vukcevic appeared to have gone cold – until now.
Portuguese publication Record is claiming that the Primeira Liga outfit are keen to raise a bit of money before the transfer window shuts and could look to sell the Montenegrin enforcer this week.
And it is claimed that Vukcevic could still join the Nottingham Forest revolution, provided they pay just shy of £7 million for his signature. Considering that the 26-year-old has a release clause in his contract worth £13 million, say A Bola, this could be very good value.
Vukcevic has been a Braga player for the last five years and has established himself as one of the toughest opponents in Portuguese football. He copped 10 yellow cards in 30 Primeira Liga starts last season.
Should Forest add him to their long list of summer signings, Vukcevic would add some extra depth and quality to a midfield that has already been enhanced by the addition of Jack Colback on a season long loan from Newcastle United.
And it will be interesting to see what impact his arrival could have on Ryan Yates. The 20-year-old made a real impact in pre-season, but the Grimsby Telegraph claimed that he could be allowed to leave on loan should another midfielder arrive.
