Nottingham Forest, RB Leipzig and Xaver Schlager
Wednesday
Nottingham Forest are closing in on Austrian midfielder Xaver Schlager after his RB Leipzig contract expired. The 28-year-old is expected to sign a two-year deal with an option for another season and undergo a medical in Nottingham this week.
Schlager would reunite with Forest head coach Oliver Glasner, who previously worked with him at Wolfsburg. Forest need midfield stability after Elliot Anderson’s huge move to Manchester City, making the free transfer a useful experienced addition.
