Nottingham Forest are preparing to make another offer for Galatasaray winger Kerem Akturkoglu, it has been claimed.
Forest saw an initial bid of €11million (£9.5m) for the Turkey international rejected this week. The bid was deemed "very low" by the Super Lig outfit, reports in Turkey claimed.
However, the Reds are not willing to give up on the 24-year-old who is open to the idea of playing in the English top-flight. It is said Akturkoglu "wants to go" to the Premier League but "respects" Galatasaray's decision to reject Forest's offer.
Another report in Turkey, Fanatik (via SportWitness) claims that Forest are "preparing to make an offer of €15m (£13m)" for the winger. Galatasaray on the other hand, are apparently "not very interested" to sell him this summer.

It remains to be seen whether a transfer will materialise with several clubs keeping tabs with the player. Galatasaray are said to be anticipating an offer from Lyon who have had Akturkoglu on their radar for some time.
The Turkey international joined Okan Buruk's side in 2020 and has gone to make a total of 119 appearances, scoring 29 goals and assisting 30 times.
Reds boss Steve Cooper is yet to make any additions to his squad this window, after Chris Wood's loan from Newcastle United was turned into a permanent switch.
