Nottingham Forest are said to be in talks with Athletic Bilbao over arranging a friendly during the World Cup break.
The Reds have four more fixtures to play before the season pauses for the tournament in Qatar. The campaign will be on hold for a little more than six weeks, resuming after Christmas.
According to Spanish newspaper El Correo, Athletic are trying to “negotiate” playing a match with Forest during that time. It is said the club “maintains open contacts” with the Reds, and if a game does get the go-ahead it would likely take place in the UK.
