Nottingham Forest have made a huge offer for Jesse Lingard as they look to sign him on a free transfer deal.
The 29-year-old is a free agent after leaving Manchester United at the end of his contract.
The striker also has an offer from West Ham but the offer from the Reds is much more lucrative.

Forest Lingard offered £200,000 a week, according to the report times.
Their offer is £50,000 a week more than West Ham. The former Man United player is now on the cusp of signing at City.
Although, the Hammers had yet to give up in case Lingard decided to change his mind.
At the start of the week, David Moyes’ team had confidence to get him.
But he is now expected to join the team of Steve Cooper, who has been looking to sign a major signing to add to their 10 new additions.
They have already managed to sign some interesting names such as Taiwo Awoniyi, Neco Williams, Moussa Niakhaté, Giulian Biancone and Omar Richards.
Meanwhile, they completed the double signing of Huddersfield duo Louis O’Brien and Harry Toffolo.
Goalkeepers Wayne Hennessy and Dean Henderson have also been added to the squad.
Could Lingard’s £200,000 a week cause problems?
👀 “What is Lingard to Forest doing to the rest of the team? He weighs in at 200,000 a week!”
🤔 “I can’t imagine that many players are over 30 or 40k a week! Will it affect others?”Tweet embed He thinks Lingard would be a better fit in #WHUFC From #NFFC 🌳 pic.twitter.com/BcqBpgaeAz
