Nottingham Forest Pursues Multi-Million Pound Transfers Across South America, Europe

Nottingham Forest is aggressively targeting South American talent this summer to strengthen their squad for the 2025/26 Premier League and UEFA Conference League campaigns. They have secured agreements for Botafogo players Igor Jesus, Jair Cunha, and Cuiabano and are pursuing additional signings including Romulo Cardoso from Turkey and Kaio Jorge from Cruzeiro, with the latter potentially costing around €30 million. The club is also interested in Brentford striker Yoane Wissa, despite Brentford's £50 million valuation, as well as Colombian midfielder Richard Rios, whom they scouted at the Club World Cup. Defensively, Forest is eyeing Senegalese centre-back Arouna Sangante from Le Havre amid competition from other European clubs and are close to signing Jair Cunha from Botafogo, with an interest in left-back Kostas Tsimikas from Liverpool to bolster squad depth. These moves reflect Nottingham Forest's ambition to establish themselves as a consistent top-half Premier League team and to compete effectively in European competitions next season.
