It seems Leicester City, Nottingham Forest and Wolverhampton Wanderers should be prepared to start bidding for SC Braga defender David Carmo.
That’s because the Portuguese club are getting ready to sell him and buy someone else, according to newspaper Jornal de Notícias.
The outlet today writes about Braga’s interest in Barcelona defender Mikayil Faye, claiming the talks for him should accelerate this week.
It turns out that the transfer can only be financially managed if Carmo is sold, and that’s where Nottingham Forest, Leicester City and Wolves come in.
Braga are hoping to sell the defender for a ‘similar sum’, and it’s the English clubs that could afford that, as they already showed their interest.
Leicester City and Wolves were the first to be linked to Carmo, with reports from Portugal then claiming Nottingham Forest had joined the race.
The truth is that the race seems pretty open. The defender spent last season on loan at Olympiacos, who are not expected to trigger the €17.5m buying clause over him, opening the path to other interested sides.
