nottingham forest It appears they are interested in signing a Brazilian defender and this could influence Sunderland’s move for Jhon Lucumi.

The Colombian player’s current deal with the Italian club expires in 2027. They have failed to tie him down further, with the player set to play for Colombia at the World Cup.

sports witness It covers how Sunderland pushed for his signature in the summer. They had an offer on the table but the Rossoblu were not keen to lose more players, selling Dan Ndoye and Sam Beukema in the same window.

Now, Bologna may have no choice due to his contract situation and are looking for a replacement. This is where Nottingham Forest could jump into the situation and make a move for Gremio’s Vieri.

tutomercatoweb It seems certain that Lukumi will be gone in the summer. He is very attracted by the prospect of a more ambitious experience, especially because Bologna will not play in Europe next season.

The Italian side see Gremio’s Vieri as a replacement. They see him as someone who could make Bologna quickly forget about Lucumi but Nottingham Forest are offering competition.

As things stand, they are not the only club in pursuit. Bologna knows this and is already trying to study the feasibility of a summer transfer.

He is confident that Vieri has a future with the Brazilian national team. He has been described as ‘the indispensable brick in the wall’ for Grêmio, despite only being in his first full season with the club. As a result, they do not want to miss out on this opportunity, as the left-footed defender’s current deal expires in 2029.

Vieri could solve a long-term need

Nottingham Forest’s Murillo has been continuously linked with a transfer from the City Ground for almost a year. Since they have failed to qualify for Europe, there is a possibility that he could be snapped up by another club in the summer.

Vieri could become a long-term replacement for Murillo and is unlikely to cost big bucks. Given how confident Bologna are in him, it’s very likely that his value will increase significantly over the next few years.

The Italian side is rarely wrong about players. This is evident in how they have sold players like Dan Ndoye, Riccardo Calafiori and Joshua Zirkzee.

Santiago Castro, Jonathan Rowe and Lucumi have made good progress in Renato Dall’Ara. That’s why their interest in Vieri should be seen as a major positive by Nottingham Forest.

Strahinja Pavlovic has had a surprisingly impressive season at AC Milan. The left-footed defender’s progress is attracting considerable interest from Chelsea.

The Serbian was widely criticized for his performances last season. This was his first campaign for the Rossoneri, having joined him from RB Salzberg. For €18 million (plus) €2m bonus) In 2024.

Under Max Allegri, the centre-back has flourished and reinforced his importance with a powerful strike against Torino at the weekend. He has scored four goals in Serie A while playing 26 times in the league, the last three of which have been very fitting for him.

sports witness Have covered interest from Chelsea this month but today’s corriere dello sport Goes into more detail.

Blues in touch with the team

The newspaper praised the Serbian highly, emphasizing his shooting ability. It was noted that Strahinja Pavlovic has transformed into a more attacking forward under Allegri, consistently moving into the final third from defensive positions.

This ‘new version’ of the defender really appealed to Milan and has piqued Chelsea’s interest.

The Blues have already made initial contact with his squad as they explore the possibility of a summer move. It is believed that to strike a deal the London side would need to surround €40 million, which is double the amount Milan paid last summer.

The price reflects Pavlovic’s importance to the San Siro side, who have no intention of selling him cheaply in the summer. In fact, they want to build their backline around him from next season.

Our opinion: There could be pros and cons to a Chelsea deal

The 24-year-old player has his strengths but his weaknesses also cannot be denied.

He has had issues defensively in the past. His shortcomings are still visible many times this season. Strahinja Pavlovic often suffers from lack of concentration and can sometimes be outplayed in 1v1 situations.

In a possession-oriented system at left centre-back, he can provide a lot of value. This season is a great example of that and Chelsea can make it even better. The Premier League is more focused on controlling the game from the back, this is where Pavlovic can step up.

They should be warned that the ex-Salzberg man can sometimes disappoint, even if €40m does represent a fair deal.
