Telegraph: Forest prepares for official offer McCarty, Manchester City s valuation of him is close to Palmer s fees

July 11th According to the Daily Telegraph, Nottingham Forest is preparing to make an official offer to Manchester City midfielder McCarthy. The Telegraph reported that Nottingham Forest has contacted Manchester City about McCarty and although no offer has been submitted, it is expected to make a formal offer. McCarty's contract with Manchester City is entering its final year and is likely to leave this summer.

Nottingham Forest has long admired McCarthy, and now they have stepped up their pursuit of McCarthy as Gibbs White prepares to join Tottenham. West Ham is also interested in McCarthy, and they are looking for a replacement for Kudus.

Bundesliga teams Dortmund, Frankfurt, Serie A teams Florence and Roma are also interested in McCarty. McCarty was frustrated with the lack of playing opportunities at Manchester City last season, hoping to join a club that provides him with a stable playing time.

With Elanga and Gibbs White leaving the team, Nottingham Forest is eager to strengthen the offensive line, with Brentford forwards Visa and McCarthy both targeting, and the Telegraph also reported that they are also interested in Eindhoven winger John Baccayoko.

McCarty can play as the No. 10 position or winger, and his suitors want to sign him for around £25 million. Manchester City's valuation of McCarty is considered close to the £42.5 million paid by Chelsea for Palmer, but McCarty's contract is about to expire and he is eager to get a chance to play, so the outside world doubts whether the interested team is willing to pay such a high transfer fee.
