Two days ago, UOL reported Atlético Mineiro have placed a bid to sign Nottingham Forest’s Gustavo Scarpa, who’s currently on loan at Olympiacos.
On Thursday, Goal Brasil stated the Galo haven’t yet tabled an offer but plan to make one soon. It was also said they want to offer less than €4m and hope to convince the Tricky Trees to lower the price tag.
The possibility of the Nottingham Forest man moving to Atlético Mineiro in January has been ruled out, if Rádio Itatiaia is to be believed.
However, they have decided not to proceed with negotiations after receiving information that the 29-year-old ‘will remain’ at the Greek club until the end of this season. Therefore, the Brazilian club have given up on signing the player in the winter market.
Scarpa left Palmeiras to join Nottingham Forest at the start of this year and Steve Cooper mainly used him as a substitute in the league during the second half of last season.
In the summer window, Nottingham Forest allowed Scarpa to join Olympiacos on loan, and he has made 11 appearances this season.
