Face-to-Face Talks on the Horizon

Nuno confirmed that talks with owner Evangelos Marinakis and transfer chief Edu Gaspar will take place soon. “Yes. That’s what we need to do, and we’re going to do it. Not today, of course, because it’s the match, but soon, of course.”

These conversations are expected to shape Forest’s strategy for the remainder of the transfer window and the coming campaign. The manager stressed that alignment between all parties is vital. “There’s no speculation around anything. What we have is to communicate – how we’re going to approach the final days of the market, how we’re going to approach the new season, how we’re going to prepare our boys.”

What This Means for Forest’s Season

This public commitment from Nuno will reassure fans who have been concerned by recent headlines. His clear message suggests he remains focused on long-term plans, with discussions aimed at reinforcing the squad and clarifying objectives.

With Nottingham Forest aiming for stability in the Premier League, these talks could determine whether the club can secure key reinforcements before the window closes. For Nuno, it represents a chance to cement his influence on recruitment and ensure the team is ready for the challenges ahead.

The coming weeks will be crucial. While speculation has dominated the narrative, Nuno’s words point to a manager intent on shaping the future of Nottingham Forest, not walking away from it.
