The latest Nottingham Forest transfer news as Nuno Espirito Santo’s Reds approach the summer window deadline.
Rodrigo Ribeiro, a young striker, could get a second chance at Nottingham Forest this season.
The 19-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at the City Ground from Sporting Lisbon, but he had little opportunity to demonstrate his abilities. The Reds had the option to make his move permanent, but he returned to his parent club at the end of the season.
However, rumors from Portugal claim Ribeiro has “a chance” of rejoining Nuno Espirito Santo’s team before the summer transfer window ends on August 30. According to sports weekly A Bola, the teenager’s return to Forest is a “strong possibility”.
According to the report, the forward pleased Nuno and the club’s coaching staff during his previous stay at Trentside. A permanent migration to England is also being considered.
Ribeiro struggled for playing time in the Garibaldi previous season. He made just five substitute appearances across all competitions, including one against Burnley on the final day of the season.
He has already appeared in one league game for Sporting this season, coming on as a substitute in a 3-1 win over Rio Ave earlier this month. In addition, he played 17 minutes for his club in the Super Cup.
Forest has prioritized bolstering Nuno’s attacking resources this summer as they hope to continue their Premier League success. Last week, winger Ramon Sosa signed a five-year contract, joining Eric da Silva Moreira, Elliot Anderson, Carlos Miguel, Nikola Milenkovic, and Jota Silva as new arrivals. Midfielder Marko Stamenic was also signed this summer, however he will spend the season on loan at Olympiacos.
