I’ve been told’: Journalist shares what he’s heard at Nottingham Forest that affects Douglas Luiz transfer

The Reds are currently enjoying a comfortable position in the Premier League. Few people, even die-hard Forest fans, would have thought the squad would finish third after 20 games of the season. The connections are coming thick and fast since Forest is dominating the Premier League, and Evangelo Marinakis is probably planning some raids to strengthen the team this month. Douglas Luiz is one name that has been associated with Forest. Despite having only made nine appearances this season, the player may be headed back to the Premier League after just joining Juventus in the summer.

No more midfielders are wanted by Nottingham Forest.

It might be terrible news for supporters who were thinking of setting aside their Christmas funds to have Luiz’s name and new Forest number printed on the back of their new jersey. A midfield player is extremely unlikely to be in the club’s sights this month, according to Graeme Bailey, who exclusively told Nottingham Forest News that another area is being linked up for reinforcements.

He informed us: “I’ve been informed that Forest isn’t actively seeking a midfield player this month, but I haven’t been informed explicitly on Luiz. Probably a striker, but only if the ideal offer is made. Last season, Luiz was a revelation for Aston Villa, helping the West Midlands-based team qualify for the Champions League with ten goals and ten assists.

The forest has approved the signing of Igor Jesus.

Only if a striker meets the correct profile would the Reds attempt to recruit them, thus this seems like good news from our source. This season, Chris Wood has scored twelve goals, so it’s critical that whoever joins the team doesn’t cause too much trouble. One player Forest has been considering is Igor Jesus, who has recently been given permission for Premier League teams to approach and sign him.

The 23-year-old Brazilian is also being pursued by Fulham and Ipswich, but the Reds may have the upper hand because the Forest team includes several players from that region of the world.Last season, he helped Botafogo win the Brazilian championship for the first time ever, and he would be brimming with confidence if he joined Forest.
