Nottingham Forest’s ‘incredible’ talent will now sign with a new club today.
Nottingham Forest were interested in signing Kasper Schmeichel in the summer, but he has since agreed to join Anderlecht. Instead, during the transfer window, the Reds signed Matt Turner and Odysseas Vlachodimos.
The seasoned stopper is already on his way to Belgium, according to the Daily Mail. After leaving Nice on a free transfer, he will sign a one-year contract.
If the Reds had landed the Premier League winner, they would have completed the signing of a fantastic player. He has a wealth of experience in the top flight, and his leadership abilities would have been obvious.
Schmeichel played for Leicester for 11 years. He led the squad to the Premier League title, competed in the Champions League, and won the FA Cup with Leicester City.
It was a surprise when he went for Nice in the summer of 2022. He has 479 appearances for the East Midlands club before moving to Ligue 1 for a fresh start.
He will now travel to Anderlecht to try to improve their fortunes. They’ve already been eliminated from Europe this season, and things haven’t gone well.
Brendan Rodgers lavished admiration on Schmeichel throughout his time at Leicester. He referred to him as ‘excellent’ and ‘absolutely outstanding’ when he was in charge of him.
Schmeichel has established Anderlecht as his forest aim.
Schmeichel, who is now 36 years old, still has a lot to contribute and will most likely become a true leader of the Anderlecht club.
Forest, on the other hand, will not be too picky. They added two international goalkeepers during the transfer window and are well-stocked for the next season.
Schmeichel will believe he can continue to play for a few more years. Even at his advanced years, he would have been beneficial for Forest, but they will feel they have signed choices who have a little more left in the tank than the Premier League winner.
