Nottingham Forest's summer transfer window opens with a striking name. According to David Ornstein's exclusive report, the club are signing Austria international midfielder Xaver Schlager as a free agent. The 28-year-old chose Forest after rejecting RB Leipzig's contract renewal offer along with interest from numerous elite European clubs — a choice that underlines just how special this transfer story is.
The terms of the contract have also become clear. The deal, to be signed following a strong World Cup performance, runs for 2+1 years; Schlager is expected to bring quality, leadership and experience to the squad. His medical is set to be completed this week.
The symbolic significance of the transfer for the club is also considerable. This signing marks Forest's first arrival of the summer window, and also goes down as the first transfer under new head coach Oliver Glasner. A manager's first move after taking charge often sends strong signals about the direction of the project; Schlager's experience and leadership qualities offer clues as to how Glasner intends to shape the team.
