Former Bristol Rovers midfielder Nottingham Forest is backed to sign

Former Bristol Rovers midfielder Nottingham Forest is backed to sign This summer transfer window, Nottingham Forest is anticipated to make a bid to Aston Villa for Lamare Bogarde, a former Bristol Rovers loanee.

 

The adaptable 20-year-old, who can play defense or midfield, is anticipated to be Unai Emery’s second academy product to depart as they attempt to adhere to budgetary restrictions.

 

Omari Kellyman, a former Derby County teenager, is anticipated to join Chelsea for £19 million, while Im Iroegbunam has already gone to join Everton for a cost of £9 million.

 

Bogarde joined Bristol Rovers in the January transfer window, returned in the summer, and was recalled in January of the following year. He played for Bristol Rovers in League One for the whole of 2023.

 

Throughout all competitions, he made 36 appearances (18 in the 22–23 season and 18 in the 23–24 season), with three assists. But after Joey Barton left, he found himself lower on Andy Mangan’s priority list and later in Matt Taylor’s plans as permanent manager.

 

The young player has made multiple appearances on the senior team’s bench and has made just one appearance for his current club, during a 4-1 FA Cup loss to Liverpool in 2021. Nottingham Forest might now pay up to €4 million to recruit him, according per Fabrizio Romano’s estimation.

 

Is there a problem with the relocation?

 

It is concerning that there has been a sharp increase in high-profile transfers for young, inexperienced players right

before the Premier League’s accounting deadline. On X (Twitter), journalist Colin Millar of the Athletic made the

following observation:

Before the June 30 season accounting deadline, three Premier League clubs are investing large sums of money on

each other’s unproven junior players. All three clubs are able to report sales profits immediately while deferring

payment of their outgoings over a number of months. Welcome to 2024’s football.

 

“It seems clear that any club in a comparable circumstance would take advantage of a glaring loophole in football

regulations. Simply said, rules meant to ensure the financial sustainability of football teams shouldn’t turn

adolescents into valuable assets. Instead of encouraging clubs to establish and keep them, PSR takes the opposite

tack.

 

“Clubs mutually trading players separately for inflated transfer fees may solve a short-term accounting problem, but

it encourages longer-term financial commitments that are increasingly unsustainable. This has been going on in

football for years and is nothing new.”

 

A number of clubs are having difficulty adhering to the Premier League’s financial standards, which has left them in

need of urgent fundraising in order to avoid further sanctions.
