Bought for around 15 million pounds sterling (95 million reais at current prices), the number 40 arouses interest from European football giants for next season. According to the British newspaper dailymail, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle and Liverpool are monitoring the Brazilian’s situation for a possible attack.
Nottingham Forest, which lost four points in the national competition due to financial fair play, does not rule out selling the defender to avoid further problems in the near future. The team, now in 18th place with 21 points, will only return to the pitch on the 30th of this month, at the City Ground, against Crystal Palace, at 12pm (Brasília time). The duel is valid for the 30th round of the English Championship.
