Nottingham Forest are closing in on a deal to sign French left-back Adrien Truffert from Rennes. The 22-year-old has been a consistent performer in Ligue 1, attracting attention from several Premier League sides.

Forest are eager to strengthen their full-back positions after a season filled with defensive reshuffles and injuries. Truffert’s energy, crossing ability, and tactical awareness make him a great fit for the Premier League.

Talks between the clubs are progressing smoothly, with a fee of around €15 million being discussed. Rennes are open to the sale, especially if it helps fund their own summer plans.

Forest’s recruitment team is prioritizing young, high-upside players this window. With Steve Cooper back in charge, the focus is on building a solid foundation that avoids another relegation battle.

According to P88, the signing is expected to be completed before pre-season training kicks off in early July.
