Forest to hand Aina huge wage raise

According to the UK tabloid, The Athletic, English Premier League side Nottingham Forest are set to hand defender Ola Aina a huge wage increase with both parties in advanced discussions over a contract extension.

The 28-year-old is expected to secure a significant pay rise as part of the prospective deal, which will reflect the impact he has made since joining the club in July 2023.

The versatile defender moved to the City Ground after his deal with Serie A side, Torino, expired in 2023. He penned a one-year contract with Forest, with the option to extend for another year included.

The extension clause was triggered in May, extending the wing-back’s stay with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side for another year, which will keep him at the club till May.

With the player free to enter pre-contract agreements with any club from the start of next year, Nottingham Forest are in advanced discussions with defender Ola Aina over a contract extension.

The versatile Aina has featured in all of The Reds’ games in the English  Premier League this season, scoring one goal and getting involved in Forest’s great start in the English topflight.

Serie A giants, AC Milan, are also interested in Aina’s services, but with an extension agreement in the works, the two-time UEFA Champions League winners hope to fend off the smoke from Paulo Fonseca’s side.
