Join Wolfie on Forest Fan TV for a crucial transfer update as breaking news from Brazilian outlet O Globo, reported today, June 20, 2025, suggests that Botafogo defender Jair Cunha, a key target for Nottingham Forest, may want to remain with his current club! The 20-year-old centre-back, part of a £30m double deal alongside Igor Jesus, has impressed with two goals at the Club World Cup, including a header against Seattle Sounders, but his reported reluctance raises questions about the transfer’s progress. Wolfie dives into whether this could derail Forest’s plans to strengthen Nuno Espírito Santo’s squad for the Europa Conference League.
The twist comes as Cunha’s desire to stay at Botafogo, where he’s thriving under John Textor’s ownership, contrasts with the verbal agreement Forest believed was in place, with medicals scheduled post-tournament. O Globo’s reports hint at the young Brazilian’s attachment to his homeland club, potentially complicating the £15m valuation placed on him as part of the deal. Wolfie explores if this is a genuine concern for the Reds or if a compromise, such as a loan-back option to Botafogo, could salvage the transfer, allowing Cunha to develop further while Forest secure his long-term commitment.
Is this a setback for Nottingham Forest, or can they navigate this hurdle to bring Cunha to the City Ground? Wolfie dissects the implications while also weighing the impact on the squad alongside Jesus’ confirmed move.
