Two days ago, Cadena Ser reported that Nottingham Forest and Ligue 1 side Brest are interested in signing Levante’s Chema Rodriguez.
It was also explained that Forest’s offer, both to the 27-year-old and Levante, was better than the one proposed by Brest.
The midfielder has a year left on his contract with the La Liga side and is not included in his manager’s plans for the new season.
According to Marca, Chema is now edging closer towards completing a move to City Ground on deadline day.
He did not take part in a preseason friendly against Elche on Wednesday and has been left out of Levante’s training session on Thursday.
The transfer window in England is set to close at 5pm today. The report states this has favoured Chema as Nottingham Forest are forced to close his transfer as soon as possible.
Cope provides an update on the economic details of the offer, which is not mentioned in Marca’s report.
Chema’s move to Nottingham is closed for €500,000 and the overall deal could go up to €1m including bonuses.
