Rennes midfielder Benjamin Bourigeaud has reportedly snubbed transfer interest from four clubs, including Nottingham Forest.
The 28-year-old is coming to the end of his contract next summer and has attracted interest this transfer window. The Frenchman joined the Ligue 1 side in 2017 from Lens, and has gone on to become an integral member of the team.
Last season he racked up 48 appearances in all competitions, making 28 goal contributions. His form did not go unnoticed by a host of clubs, who have tried to secure his signature this summer.

Alongside Forest, Lyon, Nice and Fulham have reportedly also stated an interest in the player, according to Radio station France Bleu. While the report notes that he is on the lookout for an "appreciable living environment and an ambitious sports project", he "quickly declined the four projects".
It also added that "none of these clubs made a formal offer at Stade Rennais."
Fresh terms from Rennes has been on the table for "several weeks", and they remain hopeful that the midfielder will stay.
