The Nottingham forest officially declares the club has agreed to pay £9.4 million to sign the 26-year-old permanently.

Nuno Espirito Santo is now eager for Gonzalo Montiel, the defender, to have Nottingham Forest exercise his buyout option.

Now, Forest wants to sign Gonzalo Montiel to a long-term contract.
It seems that Forest has now taken a significant U-turn on Montiel, and his future at the City Ground may now be assured.

The player was having trouble breaking into matchday squads under Steve Cooper, and there were rumors that Montiel would be heading back to Sevilla.

Espirito Santo is reportedly impressed with the World Cup winner and wants Forest to sign him, according to Argentina La Seleccion.

Regarding the fee, an agreement has already been reached. If Forest wants to sign Montiel permanently, Sevilla will want to receive about £9.5 million from Forest.

Under Espirito Santo, the player who won the Europa League the previous season has been outstanding, starting all but one of the games he has taken over and recording two assists.
