Nottingham Forest could bank major cash as Blackburn striker linked with huge £20m transfer

Nottingham Forest could be in line for a tidy summer windfall after Blackburn striker Ben Brereton Diaz was linked a money-spinning move to La Liga side Sevilla.

According to reports, the Spanish side have targeted the forward who has risen to stardom at Ewood Park where he has now become a regular fixture in the Chile national side.

And that spells good news for the Reds if he was to make a huge move this summer given a sell-on clause was reportedly included in the deal that took the forward to Rovers in January 2019.

The player's contract is set to expire this summer but it is understood Rovers have the option of extending his deal by another a year and they are likely to trigger it to avoid him leaving on the cheap.

It has been reported that a £20m pricetag has been placed on the forward who has scored 23 goals in all competitions this season and could still yet fire Rovers into the Championship play-off positions.

Forest sold Brereton Diaz to Rovers for a reported £7m but they would make a tidy return should he leave this summer with Leeds United having also been linked with the 23-year-old.
