Andrei Ratiu is confirmed to be the subject of advanced talks between Nottingham and Vallecano, who are negotiating terms ahead of a possible transfer. The defender has long been on the radar of Nottingham, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch. Progress on talks has been made, though a final agreement is not yet in place and other clubs are said to be weighing-up whether to join the race for his signature. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Fulham, Newcastle and Liverpool decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. With only 1 goals conceded in 1 (1.0 per game), Nottingham have been one of the stronger defences in the Premier League this season.. Andrei Ratiu would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Alongside this, Vallecano are said to be exploring Rayane Belid and Aaron Martin with Nottingham likewise connected to Harrison Armstrong, Pape Matar Sarr and Daniel Munoz.
