When on Thursday, a minor outlet in Brazil reported that Nottingham Forest placed an offer of €18m for Santos wonderkid Angelo, we pointed out it’d be better to wait for other sources to back that up.
It turns out that over the weekend, a couple more stories showed up, and it seems the Reds are indeed making an effort to get the winger signed at the end of the January window.
The first was UOL, who have a story saying Santos and Nottingham Forest are actually engaged in negotiations for the move.
According to UOL, that was discussed verbally and the Brazilian club was waiting for the offer to be made ‘formal’.
Then it was time for TNT Sports to report something similar, this time sounding a bit more optimistic, saying Santos were ‘advancing to agree’ Angelo’s move to Nottingham Forest.
The financial details were exactly like UOL’s, with them pointing out that in case of relegation, Angelo would be back in Brazil.
With just a couple of days until the end of the transfer window, the Brazilian media should soon bring more news on this case, with it all looking positive for now.
