Nottingham Forest are said to have put in an approach for Atalanta defender Merih Demiral.

The 25-year-old, who is an experienced Turkish international, is available for transfer.

With his Italian club hoping to shake up their squad, Demiral may welcome a move to the Premier League.

Per the Mail, Forest are ready to put in a bid of around £17 million for the center half.

The issue is whether Demiral is ready to sign for Forest, or if he would prefer to wait for other offers.

He may feel that a club higher up the Premier League table may also come in for him.
