Aitor Karanka will want the best team possible in order for Nottingham Forest to push for promotion to the Premier League this season.
To do that, some shifts need to be made to the current playing squad, and the midfield is one area that should be addressed.
According to Portuguese publication A Bola, the Championship outfit could end up signing Braga midfielder Nikola Vukcevic.
The report states that his agent Jorge Mendes has been on the hunt for a new club and has offered the 26-year-old to Forest.

The 28-capped Montenegro international has been a Braga player since 2015, and last season he made 42 appearances in all competitions.
Vukcevic is predominantly a defensive midfielder, but he can also play more centrally.
The rumoured interest in the player calls into question the club’s alleged pursuit of Newcastle United midfielder Jack Colback.
The 28-year-old spent the second half of the 2017-18 campaign on loan at the City Ground, and a report in the Nottingham Post on Tuesday claimed that he is open to returning.
Forest fans have been tweeting their thoughts on what could potentially transpire.
