Nottingham Forest have surprised fans by making a late move on deadline day to sign Javi Galan from Atletico Madrid. The deal, reported by renowned journalist David Ornstein, will see the 30-year-old Spaniard join Forest on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee. Galan, who played 37 times for Atletico last season and provided five assists, brings valuable experience and quality to the Forest squad, particularly in European competitions like the Champions League.
The addition of Galan adds depth to Forest’s defensive options and could potentially impact the plans for Brazilian left-back Cuiabano, whose arrival at the club seemed imminent. With Nicolo Savona also bolstering the full-back positions, Forest now have a surplus of options in the left-back position.
As a result, there are rumors that Cuiabano could be loaned out by Nottingham Forest despite his recent arrival. The possibility of a loan move for Cuiabano could open up opportunities for him to gain more playing time and experience, with the Greek Super League transfer window remaining open until September 12th. One potential destination for Cuiabano could be Olympiacos, owned by Evangelos Marinakis, providing him with a temporary move to continue his development.
The late transfer activity from Nottingham Forest has added intrigue to their squad dynamics and raised questions about the future of Cuiabano as the club looks to balance their defensive options effectively.
