Since Ilanga and Gibbs White will join Newcastle and Tottenham respectively, Forest urgently needs to strengthen on the offensive end. It is understood that McCarthy is their preferred target.
Forests are considering bidding about £25m plus additional terms, but Manchester City valued the local player close to £40m, which is comparable to the transfer fee when Chelsea bought Palmer two years ago.
Mccarty, 22, made 27 appearances for Manchester City last season, scoring 7 goals, and helped England's U21 team successfully defend the European Championship this summer. He was loaned to Sheffield United the previous season, but the team was eventually relegated.
In addition, Forests had earlier contact with Juventus's Via and Mbangula and expressed interest in Lyon's Malik Fofana, but none of these deals have been reached so far.
