Nottingham Forest, a Premier League club, has released six players ahead of pre-season training in the hope of improving their season.
Remember that Nottingham Forest struggled to stay in the Premier League throughout the previous season, having to wait until the final two league games to confirm their survival.
They finish the Premier League season in 16th place with 38 points from 38 games, 18 defeats, 11 draws, and 9 wins.
They announced the release of six players whose contracts will expire in June, less than a week after the abysmal 2022-2023 season.
Former Manchester United player Jesse Lingard and Ghanaian footballer Andre Ayew, who made just 13 Premier League appearances for Forest this season, are among them.
Lingard, who joined Forest last summer, appeared in just 20 games in the 2022-2023 season. He has only played 60 minutes of league football for Forest since January of this year.
The out-of-date Due to a lingering hamstring injury, the England international was left out of the club’s starting eleven.
Keylor Navas, Dean Henderson, and Renan Lodi have also returned to their respective clubs following season-long loan stints.
Nottingham Forest did not renew the contracts of Cafu, Jack Colback, Jordan Smith, and Lyle Taylor, in addition to Lingard and Ayew. As a result, they will leave the club as free agents.
Serge Aurier, on the other hand, has triggered an automatic one-year extension on his Nottingham Forest contract, and the club has confirmed striker Chris Wood’s loan from Newcastle United will become a permanent transfer when the window reopens.
