Forest Fan TV brings you a transfer update as negotiations for Botafogo’s star striker Igor Jesus to join Nottingham Forest take a twist, with Brazilian outlet @futtmais reporting a €20m deal is close but the 24-year-old remains undecided about leaving for the Premier League, preferring to wait for a potential Italian club offer after the Club World Cup. Despite Forest’s persistent pursuit, following a rejected €30m bid in January, Jesus’ hesitation—driven by his happiness at Botafogo, where he’s scored 15 goals and provided six assists in 54 games.
The plot thickens as journalist Jorge Nicola reveals Forest are also targeting two other Botafogo talents: 20-year-old centre-back Jair Cunha and versatile left-back Cuiabano. With an official bid for Jair already submitted, per GE Globo, and interest in Cuiabano heating up, Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is eyeing a triple swoop to bolster Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad, potentially loaning players within his network if not immediately needed. Wolfie breaks down Jair’s promise as a future defensive star and Cuiabano’s adaptability, assessing how these signings could fortify Forest’s backline for European and domestic challenges, especially with interest in Murillo from bigger clubs.
