With just two weeks to go until the transfer window’s closure, Nottingham Forest are still looking to bolster their defensive ranks.
After multiple failed attempts, the Reds have now turned their attention to Benfica’s Brazilian centre-back Morato.
The 22-year-old has been at the Portuguese side since 2019 when he joined from Sao Paulo back in his homeland of Brazil.
Throughout his four years in Portugal, he’s made 25 appearances for Benfica’s first-team, with his performances leading to Premier League side Fulham making an £18 million bid for the defender.
Despite the bid being rejected, Morato has clarified his ambition to play in England’s top flight.
