Even though Gustavo Scarpa has reportedly already signed a pre-contract with Nottingham Forest and is ready to join them in January, the midfielder must be completely focused on his final months with Palmeiras.
The Verdão are top of the league table after 26 fixtures, and now that Raphael Veiga had surgery which took him out of the rest of the season, it’s the future Reds’ player who must take care of the team’s creative sector.
Globo Esporte today features a story about it, claiming that with ten goals and 14 assists this season, Scarpa will need to step up and consolidate his importance in the team.
The outlet doesn’t forget that the midfielder will soon be joining Nottingham Forest, pointing out the pre-agreement for a free move, but doesn’t expect that to be a problem in his form.
As a proof of that, there are the weekend’s quotes from manager Abel Ferreira, who continues to have big trust in the player’s focus on Palmeiras.
“He was very correct and honest with the club. He expressed a dream and desire, which is legitimate. When you have a serious, honest player who exposes his frankness and says: ‘As long as I’m at the club, I’m going to give everything I have and I can’. You saw that at the end of the game,” said the manager (via UOL).
Earlier today, we covered quotes from Brazil manager Tite, who also praised Scarpa and claimed he could still have a chance to go to the World Cup before the move to Nottingham Forest in January.
