Neco Williams nears contract extension with Nottingham Forest

Manchester United’s pursuit of Neco Williams has stalled as the Nottingham Forest defender prepares to sign a new deal. The 25-year-old is in advanced negotiations for a four-year extension at the City Ground. Despite reported interest from Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United, the player appears set to remain with his current club. Forest head coach Oliver Glasner has prioritized keeping the core of his squad together throughout this summer. Williams, whose current contract was scheduled to expire in two years, is expected to finalize the agreement within the coming days. The defender hinted at his commitment to the team following a recent 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield.
