Nottingham Forest reportedly need to make £20 million in transfer sales by the end of the month.
Forest were deducted four points from the Premier League last season for breaching the league’s profit and sustainability rules.

Despite the penalty, the team from the East Midlands secured their place in the top division by finishing in 17th place.
To comply with financial rules, Forest must raise £20 million by June 30, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Even if this sales amount is lower than initially assumed, the club is still at risk of violating the rules again.
However, Forest is reportedly “relaxed” about the situation and aims to reach the required amount before the end of the month.
One of the upcoming moves is the transfer of Orel Mangala to Lyon for £25 million, a payment that Forest has already factored into its plans for the financial year.
Morgan Gibbs-White and Murillo are considered the club’s two most sought-after players and it is said that a sale may need to be approved “to ensure financial stability in the future”.
But even with the departure of some substitute players, Forest could reach the required £20 million in the summer.
Matt Turner, Odysseas Vlachodimos, Joe Worrall, Lewis O’Brien, Josh Bowler and Emmanuel Dennis are all said to be available.

While Forest will need to make sales, they may also be able to welcome new signings before the start of next season.
The report states that they could consider a new signing for Crystal Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone and were monitoring Corinthians’ Carlos Miguel last season.
In addition, The Pitch Prospect believes that Forest could beat Wolves in the race for Che Adams.
They have offered a better overall package than Wolves, with Adams available on a free transfer this summer when his contract with Southampton expires at the end of the month.
