Juventus and Napoli are both interested in picking up Orel Mangala this month and are now waiting to see if Nottingham Forest will let him leave on loan.

The 25-year-old Belgian midfielder had featured regularly in the Premier League this season, seeing 1409 minutes of action across 18 matches, but has started to fall down the hierarchies at the club following the arrival of new coach Nuno Espirito Santo.

Juventus and Napoli both identified Mangala as an interesting opportunity for the winter transfer window. The midfielder wants consistent playing time ahead of the European Championship in the summer, keen to be a part of the Belgium squad.

As reported by TMW, Mangala will meet with Nuno in the coming days to discuss his future at Nottingham Forest, keen to explore a possible loan departure this month. Should the club open up to his exit, Juventus and Napoli could come forward for the midfielder.

Galatasaray are also interested in the 25-year-old, having already tried to make a move in the summer, but for now the suitors are all waiting to see what happens at the meeting with his head coach.
