NafisaAfter already initiating their initial bid for his signature, Nottingham Forest have reportedly been given the go-ahead to proceed and secure a skilled 17-goal forward this summer.
Nottingham Forest plotting South American swoop:
If recent speculation holds any truth, then Nottingham Forest’s scouting team clearly has a fondness for South American players.
Having already seen talents like Murillo excel at the City Ground, Evangelos Marinakis is poised to welcome at least three more Brazilian players this summer, with reports indicating Forest have finalized a deal to acquire Igor Jesus, Jair Cunha, and Cuiabano from Botafogo.
The immediate influence all three players might have remains uncertain, but there’s no question they each possess unique abilities. That said, Jesus stands out as the highlight.
The young striker has appeared primed for a transition to European football for some time, and the City Ground could be the ideal setting for his scoring talent to flourish alongside a South American presence.
Since all three players are currently at the Club World Cup with Botafogo, the key challenge for Forest will be whether they can finalize their triple acquisition in time for the trio to participate at the start of the next season.
The Tricky Trees have just learned their Premier League schedule, with the home match against Brentford lined up for the opening day in August. It’s then that Nuno Espirito Santo might have the aforementioned trio available, potentially along with one additional Brazilian talent at his command.
Nottingham Forest receive green light for Romulo move:
Having already made their initial approach and established communication regarding a possible deal, those in the Midlands can now take their next step toward another South American star.
According to CNN Turk, as relayed by Sport Witness, Nottingham Forest have now received approval from Romulo Cardoso himself to sign the forward, who is eager to finalize a move to the Premier League.

At 23 years old, Romulo has already left his mark on European football with 17 goals and 10 assists in just 33 appearances in Turkey last season. Now, he could be poised to complete the most significant transfer of his career.
The striker position is certainly open for competition at Nottingham Forest too. As remarkable as Chris Wood has been—scoring 20 Premier League goals last season—there’s no denying that, at 33 years old, he’ll soon be past his prime. That’s why Romulo’s arrival would be so crucial this summer.
