Nottingham Forest are likely to make an opening offer of roughly €20 million to Corinthians for 19-year-old Brazilian winger Wesley Gassova.
Fenerbahce, Napoli, AS Roma, OGC Nice, Fulham, and West Ham United are all still associated with Corinthians’ Brazilian teenager Wesley, but insiders tell CaughtOffside that Forest is now showing the most interest and is ready to step up their efforts to sign him.
Forest already has two former Corinthians players on its roster. Murillo has built a reputation for himself since transferring clubs a year ago, and goalkeeper Carlos Miguel joined him at Trentside this summer.
Corinthians are said to have set a price of roughly $25-30 million for Wesley, who is largely considered as one of Brazil’s finest young talents right now, with a bright future in Europe.
Forest are also reportedly interested in signing Palmeiras midfielder Richard Rios.
Everton, Leicester City, Galatasaray, and Borussia Dortmund are all known to be fans of the 24-year-old Brazilian midfielder.
Palmeiras has set a price tag of around €25-30 million for the Brazilian, but it remains to be seen whether any teams will pay that amount.
