Robin Gosens was close to swapping Fiorentina for Nottingham Forest on deadline day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A report has now emerged explaining why the Viola left-back declined a move to the English Premier League.<\/p>\n

Forest moved decisively for Gosens, while Fiorentina kept the door firmly open on a late sale.<\/p>\n

In fact, the clubs had already reached an agreement, leaving the decision in the player\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n

However, Gosens said no, despite what was described as a generous pay rise and a long contract offer.<\/p>\n

Robin Gosens snubs Nottingham Forest for sporting and personal reasons<\/h2>\n

Robin Gosens has been a regular with Fiorentina since moving from Union Berlin in 2024.<\/p>\n

But while the Viola have been struggling this season, the 31-year-old has decided to stay put.<\/p>\n

Tuttomercatoweb report Forest offered Gosens a three-and-a-half-year deal until the end of the 2028\/29 season.<\/p>\n

The proposal from the Premier League side also included a \u201cgenerous\u201d salary increase.<\/p>\n

However, Gosens thanked Forest and informed Fiorentina he wanted to remain, at least until the end of the season.<\/p>\n

The key reason was because wanted to help Fiorentina save their season, rather than jumping ship mid-campaign.<\/p>\n

There were also personal factors. The same piece points to \u2018private and family issues, related to his life and that of his family in Florence\u2019.<\/p>\n

When he made the move, Gosens spoke how much Fiorentina meant to him.<\/p>\n

Robin Gosens and what happens next after the Forest approach<\/h2>\n

The Nottingham Forest interest was not the first time Gosens has been close to leaving Fiorentina.<\/p>\n

The same report says Atalanta explored a move for him last summer, but the switch never happened.<\/p>\n

On that occasion, Stefano Pioli reportedly blocked the deal because he did not want to lose a key option on the left.<\/p>\n

Now, attention turns to the final months of the season, with Gosens firmly in the picture for their fight for survival.<\/p>\n

However, the summer window could be a different matter altogether for Gosens.<\/p>\n

In the summer, he will have more time to reassess his future and tie up any loose ends.<\/p>\n

Forest will probably not bother again, as they have signed an alternative in Luca Netz.<\/p>\n

For now, Fiorentina\u2019s focus is on getting results, while Gosens has the chance to play a leading role in the run-in.<\/p>\n

In other news, Fabio Paratici has joined Fiorentina and will look to steer the Viola out of danger and into a new era.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
