Michael Noonan is set to depart Shamrock Rovers for Nottingham Forest in January on a free transfer, according to reports.<\/p>\n
A medical is pencilled in for Wednesday, as reported on the Daily Telegraph, with the Premier League club set to pay training compensation to the League of Ireland side.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, the 18-year-old had been linked to a move to German side Hoffenheim while Dutch giants Ajax and Portuguese heavyweights Benfica were also understood to be monitoring his status.<\/p>\n
Noonan signed for Rovers in January 2025 and a month later he became the youngest ever scorer in UEFA Conference League history with a strike against Norwegian side Molde.<\/p>\n
At the weekend, the Sunday Times reported that the FAI are investigating alleged third-party ownership breaches involving involving Noonan and fellow Hoops player Alex Noonan.<\/p>\n
It was confirmed earlier this year that a complaint was made by the mother of Michael Noonan to the English FA regarding agent agreements.<\/p>\n
Rovers then announced that they are working with FIFA to review two agreements and also denied they were the focus.<\/p>\n
The case has been referred back to the FAI, with the Irish governing body seeking documents to help establish facts.<\/p>\n
Another Rovers teenager, Victor Ozhianvuna, has already agreed to move to England early in 2027 with Arsenal signing him for a guaranteed fee believed to be in the region of \u20ac2m, with the potential for an even bigger payday with add-ons and a reported 20% sell-on clause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael Noonan is set to depart Shamrock Rovers for Nottingham Forest in January on a free transfer, according…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":624448,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-624447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=624447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/624448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=624447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=624447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=624447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
