Nottingham Forest will listen to offers for Joao Carvalho this summer, according to national media reports over the weekend.
The Portuguese star, who became the club's all-time record signing in 2018, has struggled for a starting spot in Sabri Lamouchi’s high-flying team this season and has had limited game time.
Reports claim Forest would be willing to let Carvalho go to Europa League side Olympiacos, also owned by Evangelos Marinakis, this summer for £15m, making a small profit on the £13.2m they spent on him in the summer of 2018.
Here’s what the Forest fans have had to say about the rumours...
John Perkins: Carvalho would be in my starting every game, I don’t care if can’t make challenges, if he just focused on purely being creative he would soon be attracting two markers, creating space elsewhere. He has the ability without doubt.
Jonathan Fairley: Learn from the past - weaker tacklers but great providers: Robertson, Crosby, Carr and many more - all used on the wing where they can get behind a solid defence and where the occasional loss gets punished less (Friday night excluded).
Gill Bolus: If we get promoted we should keep him as he will do better in the less physical Premier League, where he would get more space and time on the ball.
Ian Burnham: He'd be great if we got promoted, just too lightweight for the Championship.
David Robertson: I agree with that he needs more games, and play him just behind Grabban. If they do sell him, let's hope they bring in a quality player with the money or even two players.
Zak Dickinson: He was our best player in both the Boro and Millwall games.
Paul Sampson: If we can recoup £15m for him, even if it is because Marinakis owns Olympiacos, we should definitely sell him. Just on FFP grounds a £15m reserve player/sub is not what any Championship team can carry.
Ricky Burgess: I think he's got bags of potential but it makes perfect financial sense especially if he goes to Olympiacos.
Joe Trout: As soon as he gets bullied by another player his head drops and he doesn't want it. Never wants to roll up his sleeves and get stuck in. English football is too physical for him.
