Nottingham Forest’s move for Atletico Madrid left-back Renan Lodi has hit a snag as the newly-promoted side eye up a ninteeth signing of their busy transfer window.
Diego Simeone’s side are willing to let the Brazilian leave and he was heading to the City Ground on Friday, but talks over a loan deal have stalled.
Lodi has been considered by Manchester City and others this window but his capture would have been huge coup for Forest.
Nottingham Forest have been in talks with Atletico Madrid over the loan signing of Renan Lodi – but the move has now hit a snag
He was a key part of Atletico’s team last season, having made 42 appearances across all competitions last season.
However, the defender looks to have fallen down manager Diego Simeone’s pecking order this term as he has been an unused sub in both LaLiga games this season.
Meanwhile, Forest have signed Hwang Ui-jo from French side Bordeaux and he has immediately joined Olympiacos on loan.
They are continuing discussions over a £2m deal for Wolves defender Willy Boly and had asked about Everton’s Michael Keane but the Goodison club were not prepared to loan the 29-year-old.
Cooper’s side currently sit 10th in the table, with a win, draw and a loss from their opening three games this season.
