Nottingham Forest chase bargain La Liga defensive star
Premier League side Nottingham Forest could launch a summer transfer raid on La Liga to secure one of Mallorca's key stars. Forest secured a European qualification spot on the final day of the 2024/25 season as Nuno Espirito Santo's side slotted into the UEFA Conference League. Advertisement The extra games and demand placed on the schedule means Santo is looking for reinforcements to his squad. With Brazilian midfielder Danilo potentially moving on – amid interest from Lyon and Real Betis – the former Valencia boss is looking at the Spanish top-flight for options. As per the latest update from El Chiringuito, Mallorca defender Pablo Maffeo is on his radar. Pablo Maffeo Mallorca contract, transfer latest Maffeo has been a regular for Mallorca since his 2022 transfer move from VfB Stuttgart and he is under contract in Palma until 2027. However, the financial lure of the Premier League is a strong factor for the 27-year-old, with no progress on a renewal at this stage. The report claims Forest are ready to table a €6m offer for Maffeo to cover both full back positions in behind Neco Williams and Ola Aina next season. Advertisement Forest have reportedly already agreed personal terms with Maffeo and his agent with the final barrier to a deal focused on Mallorca accepting their bid. €6m is slightly above what Mallorca value him at currently, but his value to the squad remains a clear factor in deciding whether or not to offload him to the City Ground this summer. Pablo Maffeo to Mallorca: Key stats on La Liga star Maffeo has developed a reputation as a tough tackling defender in La Liga and he is consistent in his role and rarely injured. Across the last four seasons at Mallorca, he has appeared in 30 or more of Mallorca's 38 league games on three occasions, as a key part of their backline.

Mallorca star agrees terms with Nottingham Forest
A member of the defensive ranks at La Liga outfit RCD Mallorca has agreed to the terms of a contract with English side Nottingham Forest. That's according to El Chiringuito TV, who point towards Pablo Maffeo as the player in question. Advertisement Stopper Maffeo is for his part fresh off a campaign which saw him continue to play a leading role in the colours of Mallorca. All told, the 27-year-old racked up 28 La Liga starts, chipping in with a pair of assists along the way. And Maffeo's impressive form across these outings, evidently, did not go unnoticed in the Premier League. This comes amid confirmation on the part of the aforementioned El Chiringuito TV that the right-back is the subject of an approach from Nottingham Forest. Maffeo, it is understood, has already found an agreement on the terms of a long-term deal to take his talents to the City Ground. Advertisement Not only that, but Forest have tabled a €6 million offer for his signature. It now remains to be seen if as much proves sufficient to coax Mallorca into a sale. Conor Laird – GSFN
