Callum Hudson-Odoi’s representatives have travelled to Athens for key talks with Nottingham Forest officials, as the winger enters the final year of his contract. According to Sky Sports News' Dharmesh Sheth, discussions are already underway — and they’re being described as positive.
Forest are keen to secure Hudson-Odoi’s long-term future at the City Ground after a strong 2024/25 campaign, but with his contract ticking down, interest from elsewhere is beginning to circle.
Forest Eager to Tie Down Star Asset
Hudson-Odoi was a standout performer for Forest last season, contributing crucial goals and assists during their push for European football. Despite some inconsistency, the 23-year-old showed flashes of the player who once lit up Stamford Bridge and earned an England call-up.
Forest’s hierarchy are believed to be “optimistic” after the first round of talks, but they are fully aware of the growing interest in their winger — especially from rival Premier League sides and clubs in Italy.

Who Else Is Watching?
While no bids have been submitted yet, several clubs from the Premier League and Serie A have asked to be kept in the loop. Hudson-Odoi’s profile, age, and contract status make him a valuable proposition — especially if negotiations at Forest break down.
His agents are reportedly open to options but remain focused on finding a solution in Nottingham first. If no agreement is reached before August, Forest may face pressure to sell rather than risk losing him for free in 2026.

Analyst Verdict
Hudson-Odoi’s stock is rising again. Forest would be wise to move quickly — a £25m bid from a top-six club could force their hand if contract talks stall. His mix of pace, one-on-one ability and improved decision-making gives Forest something rare — an edge.
What’s Next?
Forest will aim to finalise an agreement before pre-season kicks off. Meanwhile, Hudson-Odoi is expected to hold further talks in England this week.
Should Forest offer Hudson-Odoi a long-term deal — or cash in now?
