Nottingham Forest set to sanction Olympiacos transfer 'immediately'

Nottingham Forest striker Julian Larsson will join Olympiacos in the January transfer window, according to a report.

The 21-year-old will join the Greek outfit's B team on a permanent basis, despite recent reports suggesting he will move between Evangelos Marinakis-owned clubs on loan.

According to Greek outlet talentabout.gr, the striker will be in Greece "next week" to finalise his move. There is no reported fee or contract length, though the striker is highly-rated so will likely pen a long-term deal with his new club.

Larsson played 25 games for Forest's under-21s last season, scoring nine goals and setting up another five, his early form earning him a call-up to the Sweden under-20 national team. He flourished at Forest with striker partner Will Swan, who is now enjoying a loan spell at Mansfield Town.

Larsson's contract at the City Ground is until the summer of 2025, having penned fresh terms in April of this year. So there will likely be a fee involved for his exit - although the process will run smoothly as Evangelos Marinakis is the owner of both clubs.

He joined Forest from Swedish club AIK in January 2020 and will now move on after two-and-a-half years with the club.
