Nottingham Forest signs goalkeeper Miguel, putting Turner on notice

Could the USMNT goalkeeper’s time at Forest end after just a year?

Nottingham Forest has signed goalkeeper Carlos Miguel from Corinthians, putting Matt Turner’s future with the club into further doubt.

Miguel, 25, has signed a four-year deal with the Premier League club after building a reputation as one of the top goalkeepers in Brazil.

The 6-foot-8 goalkeeper’s arrival creates a logjam at the position, with Forest likely to offload at least one player before the season begins.

Turner may be one of those players sold, with the U.S. national team starter now seemingly in a fight just to retain his position as a backup.

The 30-year-old joined Forest last summer in a £10 million move from Arsenal. After a promising start to his time at the City Ground, Turner would eventually lose his starting position due to a series of high-profile errors.

Forest signed Matz Sels from Strasbourg in February, relegating Turner to a spot on the bench for the remainder of the Premier League season.

After he was benched a second time, Turner admitted that he may ultimately have to “move backwards” if things didn’t work out for him at Forest.

Recent reports have indicated that Forest is willing to listen to offers for Turner, as well as fellow goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos.

Turner exit talk grows as Nottingham Forest nears another goalkeeper signing

The USMNT starter’s time at the City Ground could already be over

Could Matt Turner’s time at Nottingham Forest be over after just one season?

That appears to be increasingly likely, with reports stating the U.S. men’s national team goalkeeper is set to be offloaded as the club nears yet another new goalkeeper signing.

Both Fabrizio Romano and The Athletic have reported that Forest is closing in on a deal for Corinthians goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, with the Premier League side having made a bid equalling his €4 million release clause.

As the 25-year-old Brazilian nears an arrival, The Athletic said Forest is willing to listen to offers for Turner and fellow goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos.

Alan Nixon from The Sun added that Forest is willing to sell Turner before the season starts, with multiple clubs in Europe interested in the 29-year-old.

If Turner moves on, it would represent a third club in three seasons for the New Jersey native. Turner spent just one season with Arsenal after joining from the New England Revolution in the summer of 2022.

Turner moved to Forest last summer in a £10 million move and after a promising start, the American’s time at the City Ground was blighted by a series of high-profile errors.

The shot-stopper was benched not once, but twice, with the second time seeing him lose his spot for good as Forest signed Matz Sels from Strasbourg in February.

After he was benched a second time, Turner admitted that he may ultimately have to “move backwards” if things didn’t work out for him at Forest.

Despite a tough club season, Turner is still set to be the USMNT’s starter at the Copa América, which will begin on Sunday with a match against Bolivia.
