As they aim to stay there, holding onto stars such as Aina is seen as critical.
Per The Athletic, he is now nearing a new deal and a bumper pay rise with Forest.
Aina is 28 and was set to be out of contract at the end of this season, which would have meant him leaving as a free agent.
He could have even negotiated with other teams outside England in January, but will likely renew before then.
