The possibility of Nottingham Forest coming back in for Real Betis left-back Alex Moreno has not been 'ruled out', according to reports.
Forest were set to sign the Spaniard before he rejected a move to the City Ground having been heavily linked throughout the summer. Although the 29 year-old acknowledged the Reds' offer as an 'important' one, he confirmed he would be staying in Seville.
The message posted by Moreno on his social media read: "Hi Beticos and Beticas [Betis fans], I wanted to share this message with you all and say that Real Betis will continue being my home this season. But it's certain that the club and myself received a proposal from another club. I am grateful for the important offer I have received but after evaluating it, both Real Betis and I decided to continue walking together."

However, according to journalist Jose Lopez, Forest could come back "stronger" for Moreno. He said: "It is not even ruled out that they will come back stronger for Alex Moreno. They have not yet signed a 'substitute' and it hurt them that the Baetic side would back down with everything closed."
Meanwhile, there is already a five-year agreement in place for Houssen Aouar, as he is set to become the Tricky Trees' latest summer signing.
