The Nottingham Forest defender recently entered the final year of his contract.
Michael Mancienne is returning to Nottingham Forest after turning down Rizespor, according to the Sun (July 15, page 59).
The newspaper claims Mancienne did not fancy a move to the Turkish second tier side after flying in for talks.
And it adds the 30-year-old will now wait for another club to come in for him.
Mancienne has played 135 times for Forest following his 2014 arrival, and made 29 of those appearances last season.
However, recent moves for Michael Dawson and Jack Robinson, in addition to the permanent signing of Tobias Figeuiredo (pictured, below left), are expected to limit the Londoner’s chances should he remain at the City Ground next term.
Mancienne recently entered the final year of his contract, leaving Nottingham Forest at risk of losing him for nothing in less than a year’s time.
The Chelsea academy product has previously spent time away from English football with German side Hamburg.
