Nottingham Forest’s summer spending spree shows no signs of slowing down — and their next target could be one of Brazilian football’s brightest young talents, 20-year-old Corinthians midfielder André.

Forest Eyeing Another Statement Signing

According to the Daily Mail, Forest are negotiating a deal worth around £13.6 million to bring André to the City Ground — a fee that would mark yet another bold statement from a club that has already transformed its squad this summer. Nothing is signed and sealed just yet, with Corinthians still to confirm the figure and the deal still in progress, but the fact talks are advanced enough to make headlines is a big deal for Forest fans hoping for more quality in midfield.

Why André Would Be A Huge Coup

This isn’t just any young midfielder — André has already proven he’s wanted by Europe’s elite. Back in March, a move to AC Milan was reportedly on the table before Corinthians president Stabile stepped in and blocked it. If Forest can now succeed where one of Serie A’s giants couldn’t, it would be a genuine transfer statement — proof that the club can compete for talent that top European sides are also chasing.

The One Concern Forest Fans Should Watch

It’s not all straightforward, though. André is currently working his way back from a muscle injury picked up on international duty with Brazil, meaning any deal would come with an element of risk attached — Forest would be investing significant money in a player who isn’t yet fully fit and hasn’t had the chance to prove his value on the pitch in recent weeks.

What This Means For Forest’s Summer

If completed, this move would slot perfectly into Oliver Glasner’s wider rebuild — a club already reshaping itself with fresh faces and smart business, now potentially adding a young, highly-rated South American talent to the engine room. For a fanbase that’s watched Forest turn heads all summer, landing a player Milan once wanted would be another huge marker of ambition.

What Happens Next?

All eyes now turn to Corinthians’ boardroom. Given they blocked André’s exit once already this year, there’s no guarantee this deal gets over the line — but if it does, Forest fans could be about to welcome one of Brazil’s most exciting young midfielders to the Premier League.
