Nottingham Forest are competing with Italian giants Roma to sign Feyenoord defender Givairo Read.
The 20-year-old Dutch U21 international has emerged as a primary target for newly-appointed Forest manager Oliver Glasner, as the Austrian tactician looks to reshape his squad ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.
Feyenoord are reportedly demanding a transfer fee in the region of €25 million for the defender.
Read confirmed during a recent media interview that while his representatives are in discussions, he finds the competitive interest from two top European clubs thoroughly exciting.
Forest are undergoing a total structural rebuild this summer following the departure of manager Vitor Pereira and the record breaking £116 million sale of star midfielder Elliot Anderson to Manchester City.
Glasner has already secured Austrian international midfielder Xaver Schlager on a free transfer from RB Leipzig, but needs to add further to their ranks.
