Football Insider has been told Nottingham Forest have received a Europa League boost after a decision has been made.

Nottingham Forest are among the Premier League clubs exploring a deal for Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz, talkSPORT understands. Former Aston Villa star Luiz is keen to return to England a year

Tottenham are hoping to sign Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White and have been handed a boost, with Nuno Espirito Santo eyeing a potential replacement for the England international

As an Argentina international, Almada has obvious quality, but his contributions in Ligue 1 in 2024-25 came against lower-league opposition, while he also netted against Manchester United in the Europa League.

The selfish decision would have been to hope Manchester City won the FA Cup. If Pep Guardiola's side had lifted the cup on 17 May then Nottingham Forest, already guaranteed European football, would have gained a place in the Europa League without all the furore that has followed.
