Nottingham Forest target Aaron Ramsey has a "verbal agreement" in place with French club Nice, according to reports.
The Wales midfielder was linked with a move to Forest last week as Steve Cooper looked to add to the centre of midfield. That was before the arrival of Orel Mangala from Stuttgart, though, so it is unclear whether Forest remained interested beyond that stage.
Ramsey has had his contract terminated by Juventus, meaning he is free to find a new club in order to earn his place. He will be looking to impress ahead of the World Cup in November, with Wales having qualified for the first time since 1958.

Forest signed Aaron Ramsey on loan from Arsenal back in the 2010-11 season, with the Welshman making just five appearances for the Reds under then manager Billy Davies.
On his move, the Daily Mail's Tom Collomosse tweeted today: "As has been reported in French media, Nice have verbal agreement with Aaron Ramsey. Wales midfielder is available after settling the final year of his contract with Juventus."
Nice finished fifth in Ligue 1 last season and will present a good challenge for Ramsey, who will be playing alongside former Man United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin in the team. He could also be joined by Leicester City goalkeeper and captain Kasper Schmeichel, with Nice said to have agreed a deal for the Dane.
