Nottingham Forest were on the brink of finalizing several deals before the transfer deadline, including the surprising acquisition of Cuiabano. The Brazilian player had already visited the Forest training ground and was close to becoming a part of the team.
Additionally, Forest had reached an agreement to sign Dilane Bakwa from Strasbourg for £35m, and the player was undergoing his medical at the City Ground. However, the news of Javi Galan’s potential signing from Atletico Madrid brought excitement to Reds fans, only to be dashed by Romano’s revelation that the deal had fallen through due to time constraints.
Despite the disappointment, Forest still had Cuiabano as a left-back option, with the confirmation of his transfer pending. With the transfer window now closed, fans eagerly awaited the official announcement of Cuiabano’s arrival in the team, providing some much-needed relief after the last-minute drama.
