Director of football Richard Montague says Swansea City want to bring Lewis O'Brien back to the club next season – but concedes the midfielder's next move will be down to Nottingham Forest.
O'Brien has excelled in Swansea colours since arriving on loan at the back-end of the mid-season transfer window.
The 26-year-old said last month he would be open to the idea of returning to Swansea in 2025-26.
However, he remains under contract at the City Ground next season and the cost of any deal to bring him back to Wales is likely to be significant.
