The two clubs have been locked in talks over who would take on the greatest proportion of McCormack’s large wage packet – with Forest eventually increasing the loan fee to satisfy Villa.

McCormack has been told to go by Steve Bruce after falling further out of the picture by Scott Hogan’s arrival.

And previously, the Scottish forward, who signed from Fulham for £12m in the summer, was blasted by manager Steve Bruce.

The forward failed to turn up to training, prompting Bruce to drop him from the squad against Preston North End and has said that he wouldn’t pick him again until he apologised to the fans.

McCormack even used the excuse that his electric gates at his home would not open, prompting Bruce to furiously go to McCormack's home to see the gates for himself.

McCormack is expected to join fellow Villa player Aaron Tshibola, who also joined Forest on loan this transfer window.
