For those waiting for an update on Nottingham Forest’s attempt to sign Carlos Miguel from Corinthians, journalist Bruno Andrade shares some news on Twitter.
According to the reporter, the Reds currently wait for the ‘the definition of financial fair play in the Premier League for 2024/25’ to trigger the release clause. In other words, they are only completing the operation in the next financial year, which starts in July.
Nottingham Forest are then expected to pay the €4m for the transfer and get the signing done. It’s said there’s a verbal agreement with Carlos Miguel for a five-year deal, and he’s already told Corinthians he’s making the move.
The Brazilian club are currently in a strong crisis, and their president Augusto Mello today held a press conference to talk about some issues. The goalkeeper’s departure is one of them, and he claimed that there have been no bids for him so far, and he’s been training normally with the squad. The quotes are from ESPN Brasil.
“So far nothing has arrived for me, no contract, no fine (the clause) has been paid. The boy is there happily working.”
His quotes, however, aren’t taken seriously by fans and press. Especially because just a few minutes later, he admitted that Corinthians are in talks with other goalkeepers in the market.
