Forest had a bid worth £35m rejected by Ipswich, which was the same value as his relegation clause that has now expired. Hutchinson was not in the squad for Friday's Championship opener at Birmingham City due to illness. It's understood he wants to make the move back to the Premier League. Brentford also held an interest in Hutchinson earlier in the window but failed to agree a deal. Forest have also approached Juventus over a potential deal for midfielder Luiz. Two Premier League clubs have bids in for Luiz that are being considered, Sky Sports News understands. Forest have identified the former Aston Villa midfielder as a target for the final weeks of the window. Contact has now been established between the clubs and Juventus are open to offers for the 27-year-old. The Brazil international has struggled to settle in Turin since joining from Villa last summer. Forest are in talks with Rennes over a deal for striker Kalimuendo. The 23-year-old France international is among the most sought-after forwards in the final weeks of the window. RB Leipzig and Villarreal have also been keen to sign him but the German club are finalising a deal for striker Romulo instead. Kalimuendo has been tracked by other Premier League clubs too. He is a former PSG youth player with 40 goals and 14 assists in 112 appearances since joining Rennes. Forest and Callum Hudson-Odoi are progressing in talks over a new contract. Hudson-Odoi has entered the final year of his contract and has been the subject of interest from several clubs in England and Europe.
