Forest Reject Bid for Brazilian Defender

Nottingham Forest have rejected a bid from German side for their Brazilian Centre-back Morato.

Forest are unwilling to sell any defenders on Deadline Day and they have rejected a bid in the region of £17.3 million from Wolfsburg for Morato.

Forest are competing in Europe this season, so they are not willing to shrink the size of their squad on Deadline Day with the possible number of games that they still have left this season.

Nottingham Forest Reject Bid from Wolsfburg

German side Wolfsburg have made a late move to sign Nottingham Forest defender Morato on Deadline Day. They have had a bid worth in the region of £17.3 million rejected by the East Midlands side as they are unwilling to sell any defenders this late in the transfer window.

Morato joined the Premier League side from Benfica in the summer of 2024 in a deal worth around £8 million and hasn't started many games for the Reds since his arrival.
