Nottingham Forest are now expecting to complete their next signing in the coming days, with optimism increasing at the City Ground.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s choices have already expanded significantly in recent months, with eight fresh arrivals to his team.
Forest did not get off to a good start last weekend, conceding late in the game and losing two of the three points they believed they had gained.
Despite being one of the busiest sides in the Premier League this summer, Evangelos Marinakis still has options to strengthen his squad at Forest.
And it appears that the Reds are growing increasingly confident that signing number nine will be completed in the coming days.
Nottingham Forest are confident of landing Gonzalo Montiel in the coming days
In recent days, there have been suggestions that the Forest could make a stunning bid to re-sign Gonzalo Montiel.
It is even said that the £9 million Montiel is now anxious to return to Forest, with the idea of playing in the Premier League intriguing to him.
With less than a week remaining in the transfer season, a report from Brazil appears to have emerged, providing an update.
According to RTI Esporte, Forest is working behind the scenes to sign Montiel permanently before the window closes.
According to reports, there is rising anticipation over Montiel’s prospective return to the City Ground following his loan stay last season.
There is interest from South America and the Netherlands, but Montiel intends to return to England.
With anticipation building, Montiel is anticipated in Nottingham in the coming days.
Nottingham Forest looking to end the market strong
Despite making so many acquisitions, there appears to be room for improvement at Forest, with the Reds hoping to complete a late deal.
Eddie Nketiah of Arsenal is said to be close to completing a move to Forest this summer, with a new striker on the club’s radar.
However, it appears that Nuno is equally concerned about defensive upgrades, with Montiel’s return high on the agenda.
If Forest can complete some last transactions before the end of the transfer season, Marinakis will have supported his management this summer.
