Nottingham Forest are on the verge of signing Famalicão’s Gustavo Sá, after making firm advances this summer.
On Tuesday, we relayed news the Premier League side have pushed West Ham United aside in the transfer race. The Hammers’ failure to get this operation over the line saw the Reds hijack the midfielder.
Later that day, Sport Witness covered claims from Portugal that Nottingham Forest’s move is in the final stages. He has already left Famalicão’s pre-season training camp.
Oliver Glasner’s side immediately plan to send him on loan to Olympiacos. Evangelos Marinakis owns both clubs, making it straightforward.
Nottingham Forest move edging closer
Greece’s Ert Sports report the 21-year-old will soon complete a move to the City Ground.
He carried out his Nottingham Forest medical in the Algarve. It’s worth noting the English club are having a pre-season camp in the Algarve, Portugal.
Gustavo Sá will then travel to Athens to join Olympiacos on loan from the English club.
Another Greek outlet, Sport 24, echoes this claim and shares the latest on the midfielder’s impending transfer.
Nottingham Forest to make signing official soon
The Famalicão player has already completed medical tests in Portugal. He will travel to Greece on Wednesday, instead of England, to formalise his loan move to Olympiacos.
This will only be possible once Nottingham Forest complete his signing and then sanction a temporary move.
With an agreement in place between the two clubs and the player completing his medical, he will soon sign the contract. Barring a delay or a late twist, Gustavo Sá should sign it today, when he arrives in Athens.
Nottingham Forest should then make his signing official.
