Nottingham Forest aim to finish with a flourish against bogey side Bournemouth, and Sunday could offer several farewells.
They secured Premier League safety with two games to spare, then saw an eight-match league run ended by a controversial 3-2 loss at Manchester United. They host the Cherries on Sunday, 4pm kick-off. According to Nottingham Post, some futures remain unresolved.
Forest want to keep their prized midfielder, yet a sizeable bid could test that stance. Manchester City lead the chase for his signature, with Manchester United and others also keen.
The Switzerland international Ndoye has endured a difficult first season and has been sidelined recently, so his involvement this weekend is unclear. Inter Milan and Roma are interested, a loan exit appears unlikely, and a €42 million, £36m, valuation could be a hurdle.
Pereira has spoken about only minor tweaks, though the attack will be assessed. Lorenzo Lucca will return to parent club Napoli, there are murmurs around Igor Jesus, and Chris Wood has 12 months left on his deal.
Everton, West Ham United, Besiktas and Mainz have been linked with Awoniyi. He has served Forest well, but a move would not be a major shock.
Forest rejected a reported £17m January offer from Wolfsburg for defender Morato as they prioritised strengthening. Interest this summer could bring a different outcome, with Jair Cunha arguably now ahead of him in the pecking order and defensive reinforcements being explored.
