Forest’s Steep Asking Price Scaring Off Premier League Suitors for Awoniyi

As the summer transfer window heats up, Nottingham Forest’s striker Taiwo Awoniyi has been making waves in the Premier League. The 26-year-old Nigerian international has been the subject of interest from several top-flight clubs, including Chelsea. However, Forest’s steep asking price has scared off many of these potential suitors.

According to sources close to the player, Forest are demanding a hefty sum for Awoniyi, which has put off many interested parties. This is despite Awoniyi’s impressive form since joining Forest from German Bundesliga club Union Berlin in July 2022 for a reported 20.5 million Euros.

Awoniyi’s current valuation on Transfermarkt stands at 28 million Euros, and Forest are unwilling to budge from their asking price. This has led to several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, to reconsider their pursuit of the Nigerian striker.

“Several clubs including Chelsea have enquired about Awoniyi, but what Forest are demanding has scared many of them away,” a source close to the player revealed.

The Premier League’s allure is hard to resist

With his contract running until June 2027, Awoniyi’s future remains uncertain. Will Forest’s steep asking price ultimately prove to be a stumbling block, or will a club come along and meet their valuation? Only time will tell.
