Nottingham Forest are in talks with AC Milan over a move for Yunus Musah, and a report has claimed he is now open to the move.
Musah arrived at Milan from Valencia two years ago and has played 80 games for the club across all competitions. Despite the sale of Tijjani Reijnders, the signing of three new midfielders – Luka Modric, Samuele Ricci and Ardon Jashari – threatens to put him on the fringes.

Musah talks on with Forest
Now, The Athletic have confirmed that talks are on between Forest and Milan over a deal, and if those negotiations lead to an agreement, ‘personal terms for the USA international are not expected to be an issue’.
Milan’s stance on Musah’s future was made clear by the comments that Igli Tare made at the start of the summer, even if there have been rumours that the head coach Massimiliano Allegri is an admirer of Musah.
“I consider Musah an excellent player, but we are looking for profiles with characteristics that fit the project we have with coach Allegri.
“We are seeking deep-lying midfielders for a three-man midfield. Musah doesn’t have these characteristics. He can play in a two or three-man midfield but with different characteristics. This is the real reason why we want to do something different.”
The Athletic go on to state that Douglas Luiz of Juventus is another player Forest have looked into, with Nuno Espirito Santo wanting to replace Danilo and Lewis O’Brien who left for Botafogo and Wrexham respectively.
“I consider Musah an excellent player…” this made my day 🤣🤣🤣
And what was he suposed to say? He is pure trash but i still want 25-30 milion for him?
You forgot PL Tax: €30-35m plus sell on clause
🤣🤣 And keep the player at the club until the contract expires. I have never heard a Madrid official say bad things about any of the players they had. And they had some useless ones like Mariano Diaz or even Hazard.
You dont expect a sporting director to condemn his player in an interview..
You expect him to stay musah is a garbage or what?
30m and some bonuses and he can go.I think Nothingam will pay more then Napoli 22m.
Good luck Musah
There were talks and offers for 2 months now. Yet he started almost every pre season game.
Miretti? if we want to get 15M gain or maybe Frendrup since we are talking Genoa already?! or I guess Guerra, since he still hasn’t extended, but I can’t see them spending much on midfield after Jashari and Ricci
Guerra extended to 2030 I think. Just get Kessie back
true, 2 days ago
I would sell Musah and won’t sign any midfielder untill we get off Benny and Adli. I would use the money from Musah for another cb. Kiwior makes so much sense to me if we can work out a deal for 25mil transfer for him
Please stop playing him in pre-season matches. I’m afraid it’ll drive away any interested club LOL.
This!!! 😀 😀 😀
They play him on purpose, they want him to show his skills.. no one will buy a player who just sit on the bench. Friendlies are kinda like a commercial for some players.
So the general consensus here is….
Brilliant player yep?! 👍
GOAT. Just like Emerson Royal.
PLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! PRETTY PLEASE!
The question is, can we afford to offload Terraciano, Bondo AND Musah?
That leaves us with Modric, Ricci, Jashari, Fofana and RLC. We don’t have to rotate much but there’s a possibility of injuries and limited minutes for Modric. That would limit what we can do in midfield.
What are you talking about?? Musaahhh can play like Messi in deep-lying midfielder roles.
hahahaah, 😀
