Nottingham Forest are exploring a number of deals this summer transfer window.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have registered interest in Raul Moro, who has enjoyed a productive season with Real Valladolid.
Moro, formerly of Barcelona’s academy, is believed to be available for around £8m after the Spanish club suffered relegation from La Liga.
Atletico Madrid star Reinildo is also wanted by Forest, as they look to bring in a left-back following Alex Moreno and Harry Toffolo’s departures.
Now, Nottingham Forest have just been given a great chance to sign a Liverpool full-back who’d certainly fill that void.

Forest are really light at left-back and Espirito Santo has clearly made it a priority area to strengthen this summer.
With that said, they should seriously consider signing Liverpool’s Kostas Tsimikas, who is now expected to leave Liverpool, according to The Mirror.
Arne Slot has made Tsimikas surplus to requirements, having only handed him nine Premier League starts last term.
The Greek international is out of contract in 2027, so there’s a great chance for Forest to snap him up for a bargain fee.
Jurgen Klopp loved Tsimikas
Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was a big fan of Tsimikas and heaped praise on the left-back back in November 2023.
“We all know how good Kostas can be, but now he has the opportunity,” Klopp explained. “The first performance maybe isn’t great, then you start thinking, I can only help the boys. You cannot change it.
“Most of the work the boys have to do themselves. Then you saw the first assist, it just opened up and then it’s football again that’s how it goes.
“Super important and really happy for him. The situation is not always easy when Robbo is fit and today you can see again how good a player he is.”
Evidently, if Klopp rated him, it’s a good indicator that Forest would be signing a real top-level player, who just needs that bit of consistency to regain confidence.
Liverpool only paid around £11m for Tsimikas in 2020, so perhaps Evangelos Marinakis could negotiate a similar fee, which would be excellent value.
