Nottingham Forest have agreed to sign Fluminense defender Nino, with transfer negotiations’very well underway’.
According to UOL, Nino is ‘on his way’ to leaving Fluminense at the conclusion of the season and joining Nottingham Forest.
According to their sources, the Brazilian defender has reached an agreement with Steve Cooper’s team, however the terms are being kept private for the time being.
However, the ‘definitive transfer’ is ‘already regared closed,’ and the 26-year-old will leave Fluminense at the end of the Brazilian season on December 6th.
According to the site, all the specifics of the agreement are being handled with ‘with care’ because Fluminense is poised to face Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores final on Saturday.
They say that the defender was recently the subject of serious interest from Besiktas and Al-Shabab, but both deals were blocked by the Rio club. They appear to have chosen to accept Nottingham Forest’s bid for the player.
Nottingham Forest have strong connections in Brazil, having signed Murillo from Corinthians this summer and Danilo from Palmeiras last year.
Perhaps that has worked in their favour with this particular negotiation, which UOL say is now advanced and likely to be concluded sooner rather than later.
