Overview
- Nottingham Forest have made an opening offer of about €15 million including add-ons for Roma centre-back Jan Ziółkowski, according to multiple Italian and transfer-focused reports.
- AS Roma have rejected that approach and are seeking roughly €20–25 million, leaving talks at an early negotiating stage rather than completed.
- Ziółkowski is a Poland international turning 21 who joined Roma from Legia Warsaw in August 2025 and is under contract until June 2030, which strengthens Roma’s bargaining position.
- The young defender made 23 competitive appearances for Roma in 2025–26 and struggled for consistent form after an early substitution damaged his confidence, a factor that helps explain the cautious market valuation.
- Other Premier League clubs including Brighton, AFC Bournemouth, Newcastle and West Ham have been linked or are monitoring the situation, and Roma’s demand means any deal will likely hinge on higher guaranteed fees or carefully structured performance add-ons.
