The bidding war continues for Nottingham Forest midfielder Orel Mangala, with reports Napoli and Galatasaray have made offers, while Juventus wait.

The 25-year-old Belgium international is available in the January transfer window on loan or on a permanent move, having joined the Premier League side from VfB Stuttgart for €13m in the summer of 2022.

According to Sky Sports Deutschland, Galatasaray have already made a proposal that was rejected by Nottingham Forest.

Napoli are waiting to see what the response is to their own proposal, which was presented over the last couple of days.

As for Juventus, they seem more inclined to approach for a dry loan and have other targets on their list too, including former Liverpool veteran Jordan Henderson.

The 33-year-old England international was sold to Al-Ettifaq for €14m in July, but is already tired of life in Saudi Arabia and wants to move on.

According to Sportitalia, Juventus would prefer to take Henderson on loan for six months rather than 18 and are only prepared to pay €1.5m of his salary during that time.
