Nottingham Forest have a full agreement to sign Gonzalo Montiel, according to claims from Argentina.
TyC Sports journalist Cesar Luis Merlo writes on Twitter that the clubs today closed a deal for the 26-year-old’s transfer.
The reporter says that Nottingham Forest will pay Sevilla €66m for the fullback.
Montiel is expected to fly to England on Monday to have his medical and sign a contract with the Tricky Trees.
Earlier on Sunday, Merlo had already featured a story claiming there were ‘advanced negotiations’ for that move, and that seems to be confirmed now.
Montiel joined Sevilla in a €11m transfer from River Plate in 2021. He’d been looking for a way out of the La Liga side this summer, and had actually been heavily linked to Fulham in the past few days. The fullback was part of Argentina’s squad which won the World Cup in December.
We must recall that Merlo’s first story said Nottingham Forest also had Bologna’s Nicolas Dominguez ‘close’ to the club, so we better watch out for those negotiations as well.
