Former Everton striker Moise Kean reportedly rejected the opportunity to join Nottingham Forest in the summer transfer window.
The Juventus star was said to have been of interest to Forest when the club was building a squad capable of competing in the Premier League. Forest signed 23 players and spent in excess of £130million in the summer window.
After a disappointing spell at Everton which ended in the Blues opting to let the forward move on from Goodison Park, Kean re-joined Juventus in 2021 on an initial two-year loan deal with an obligation to buy for £28 million and according to reports in Italy, Forest were willing to spend big to bring the 23-year-old back to the Premier League this season.

Calciomercato claim that Kean declined a 'rich offer' from Forest to become one of their most expensive signings in that window.
The Italian has scored just two goals in 12 league appearances so far this term for the Old Lady. Last season, Kean netted five times in 32 Serie A games as Juventus finished the campaign in fourth position.
Despite reportedly being rejected by Kean, Forest still added firepower to Steve Cooper's squad in the summer, with Morgan Gibbs-White, Taiwo Awoniyi, Emmanuel Dennis and Jesse Lingard joining the club.
