Transfer window: Nottingham Forest chasing Brazilian playmaker

Sao Paulo are struggling to tie Igor Gomes down to a new contract as Nottingham Forest reportedly decide whether to make a move for the player dubbed the ‘new Kaka’ in the January transfer window.

Gomes will be a free agent from March 2023. To that end, he has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League.

And the fact that his contract is running down means Sao Paulo will have to do business in the new year if they want to receive a fee for the player.

Journalist Jorge Nicola claims Forest have shown an interest, who turned down a loan move to West Ham last year.

But if he does sign, the report adds that the 23-year-old could then be loaned out to Greek side Olympiakos

The loan path is one Forest followed with summer signings Josh Bowler and Hwang Ui Jo.

But from Sao Paulo’s point of view their technical director Muricy Ramalho remains hopeful Gomes will still sign a new deal.
