Today, we’ve seen reports from the Italian media claiming Nottingham Forest are set to miss out on signing AS Roma defender Roger Ibanez.
Even though the Reds had offered €25m, they were outbid by Al-Ahli, who now have agreements with club and player for the transfer.
As Nottingham Forest continue with their quest for a centre-back, it turns out they now go after another Brazilian, according to journalist Jorge Nicola.
It’s said that Nottingham Forest now turned their attention towards the 21-year-old and already prepare a bid for his signing.
This offer is expected to be made in the ‘coming hours’ and should be €15m.
Nicola points out that Corinthians’ request is €20m, as they recently turned down a €13m offer from Napoli for the defender, with the Serie A side signing Nathan from RB Bragantino instead.
The Brazilian side are expected to turn down Nottingham Forest’s first bid, but with such a small gap, the clubs should still try to work on a deal.
