As Nottingham Forest midfielder Gustavo Scarpa continues his loan at Olympiacos, the comments from the Greek media aren’t the best.
Following his summer move, the player only has 319 minutes on the pitch, with six appearances made, and was left out of their last three league matches.
Greek outlet SportDog now features a story about the Nottingham Forest loanee, and concludes that he shouldn’t stay for much longer.
First of all, the outlet comments that even though he has ‘tremendous quality’, he ‘lost pace’ since his move to England.
With reports saying he could return to Brazil, SportDog invited journalist Yannis Douzgos to speak about the situation, and suggested that Flamengo are one of the clubs who could be interested in him.
“If there is no other development, he will end up at Palmeiras on loan or in a consortium sale – They can get him for two years for example and then on a regular transfer.
“Flamengo could also be interested in his case, given that Tite, who now sits on their bench, was the coach who took Scarpa to the Brazilian national team. Flamengo, after all, is a team that can spend money in Latin America.”
Scarpa has a contract with Nottingham Forest lasting until 2026, and considering how things have been going, the Reds will indeed need to find a new solution for him next summer.
The problem is that Scarpa hadn’t been keen on returning to Brazil this summer, so he’ll have to change his mind or find a new option in Europe.
