Michael Mancienne to leave Nottingham Forest for Turkey?

Nottingham Forest have reportedly decided to allow Michael Mancienne to leave the club this summer.

Mancienne has spent the last four years at the City Ground, with a total of 134 appearances being made in all competitions.

However, the 30-year-old does not feature in Aitor Karanka's plans going forward and according to the Nottingham Post, the Englishman could be moving to Turkey.

The report says that the former Chelsea man is in discussions with Caykur Rizespor, who play their football in Turkey's second tier.

Mancienne has just one year remaining on his contract, and Forest are seemingly prepared to cash in due to the number of incomings at the club.
