Nottingham Forest have made an approach for Atalanta defender Merih Demiral.
The 25-year old Turkey international is available this summer as Atalanta re-shape their squad.
Forest made a move for Roma's Roger Ibanez last week but he has chosen to join Al Ahli.
They are willing to offer around £17million for Demiral but may face a task convincing him to join.
Demiral has been a target for other Premier League sides in the past and has received offers from his native Turkey this summer but has preferred to remain Serie A amid rumoured interest from Inter Milan.
Forest are keen to strengthen their centre back options as well as add a left-back and midfielder before the window closes.
They expect to close a £7million deal for Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner this week after he underwent a medical on Monday.
Forest are due to pay a further £3m in add ons for the USA international.
