The Premier League club is preparing to offer Nigerian international Ola Aina a new contract that will see him remain at the City Ground beyond 2025, according to Africa Foot.
According to reports, club plans to extend Aina’s stay with a fresh two-year deal, including an option for a third year and an increase in salary.
The 28-year-old right-back, who joined Forest in July 2023, has become an integral part of the team’s setup. Since his arrival, he has made 30 appearances across all competitions, scoring twice and providing one assist.

Currently earning an annual salary of €2,484,962 and valued at €20 million by Transfermarkt, Aina has proven his worth both defensively and offensively. His consistent performances have prompted Forest to move quickly and secure his services amid growing interest in the market.
Aina’s current contract is set to expire on June 30, 2025, but the club is eager to avoid any risk of losing the Super Eagles star on a free transfer.
With 40 international caps for Nigeria and solid Premier League experience, Aina is seen as a crucial part of Forest’s future plans. Talks are expected to progress in the coming weeks as the club looks to finalise the deal.
Nottingham Forest will be counting on Aina’s defensive prowess when they face Brighton in the FA Cup quarter-finals, as they aim to continue their cup run.
