AS Roma have entered the race to sign Nottingham Forest defender Ola Aina as uncertainty continues over the Nigerian’s long-term future at the Premier League club. The full-back has less than six months remaining on his current contract, with no agreement yet reached over an extension despite his impressive performances this season.
Aina has attracted interest from several clubs across Europe after establishing himself as one of Forest’s most reliable players. Softfootball understands Manchester City and Turkish champions Galatasaray are also monitoring the 28-year-old, while Roma have already opened talks with the defender’s representatives over a possible move.
The former Chelsea academy graduate has enjoyed an outstanding campaign, contributing two goals in 20 Premier League appearances while playing a key role in Nottingham Forest’s impressive rise up the table. His consistent displays have significantly increased his value ahead of the summer transfer window.
Aina joined Forest on a free transfer from Torino in 2023 and has quickly become a fan favourite. With interest continuing to grow, Nottingham Forest could soon face a difficult battle to keep the Nigerian international.
