Report: This summer, Nottingham Forest will definitely sign a 20-year-old who they consider to be “very capable.”

Scouts from Nottingham Forest saw Santos and Cuiaba draw 0-0 on Monday, concentrating their attention on Marcos Leonardo. Forest is among the Premier League teams interested in the striker.

Since the summer, the Reds have been interested in signing the gifted player. When it comes to finding diamonds, forests in South America have been searching everywhere.

Scouts from Forest go to observe Leonardo in action.

According to Vamo Flamengo, who provided the most recent information, Forest sent two spies to the most recent Santos game. In recent days, the Reds and Nino have come to an agreement, and the contract will soon be made official.

Leonardo has been linked with Newcastle and Manchester United, as well as Forest, in recent months. However, Leonardo will want to head to England with a team where he knows he will play, and that could help Forest.

The 20-year-old striker has been in scintillating form during the current campaign. He’s currently got 21 goals to his name from 43 appearances, and he looks set for a seriously bright future. Leonardo would star at the City Ground
Forest have a plethora of players from Brazil at the City Ground right now, but Leonardo could be the very best of the lot. The striker is wanted by a host of top clubs, and the Reds would do well to get a deal over the line.

Julio Sergio, who once played goalie for Roma, has praised Leonardo in the past. He referred to him as “very capable” and advised the Serie A team to attempt to recruit him in January.

Without a doubt, Forest could use another striker on their team. The key man up front is Taiwo Awoniyi, since Chris Wood and Divock Origi are expected to leave the City Ground in the summer.

Leonardo is someone that Forest would like to have on their team. But closing this deal won’t be simple, given that he turned down offers from other clubs in the summer.
