The 26-year-old's contract runs until 2026, but reports claim Nottingham Forest are willing to offload the player along with three others.

Coach Nuno Espírito Santo is prepared to let Dennis leave at a reduced price despite his initial €16 million transfer fee.

Dennis started the club’s first two pre-season matches under Nuno Santos but was left out of the squad for their last six games.
