Nottingham Forest attacking midfielder James Makati can change his club registration as early as January. Reportedly Sky Sportsthe 23-year-old football player was interested in three foreign clubs at once — Porto, Beşiktaş and Strasbourg. All applicants have already contacted the English side for information on the conditions of a possible transfer.

It will be recalled that the Foresters purchased Makati from Manchester City in the summer of 2025, paying 29 million euros for the promising player. However, the start of his career in the new club seemed difficult: in the current season, the midfielder appeared on the field in only 12 matches in all tournaments and has not yet distinguished himself with productive actions.

Although the player’s current contract runs until the summer of 2030, Nottingham Forest may consider selling or loaning the player to optimize their squad.

Earlier it was reported that Ajax is considering a full transfer of Zinchenko.
