Nottingham Forest is on the hunt for new players as they prepare for European football next season. Igor Jesus is set to join from Botafogo after his team’s Club World Cup campaign. His recent winning goal against PSG has fans excited for his arrival at the City Ground.
While it was rumored that Jair Cunha would also be making the move to Forest alongside Jesus, it seems there may be a delay. Cunha has not yet made a decision on his future at Botafogo, despite negotiations with Forest still ongoing.
Reports suggested that Forest were close to securing a deal for Cunha, but competition from Real Madrid now complicates matters. Cunha himself remained focused on his current club during the Club World Cup, leaving his agents to handle any transfer talks.
Forest has other defensive targets in mind, with Murillo and Nikola Milenkovic set to feature prominently next season. While Cunha is a promising talent, Forest may not be able to match Real Madrid’s interest. Taking a cautious approach and waiting for further developments may be the best course of action amidst conflicting reports.
