Nuno Espirito Santo is now keen for Nottingham Forest to activate the purchase option for defender Gonzalo Montiel.

That is according to Argentina La Seleccion.

So, what is the situation regarding Forest and Gonzalo Montiel? Let’s take a closer look…

Forest now want to sign Gonzalo Montiel on permanent deal

It would appear that Forest have now made a sizeable U-turn on Montiel and his future could now be set in stone at the City Ground.

Under Steve Cooper, the player was struggling to make matchday squads and it had been claimed that Montiel would return to Sevilla.

According to Argentina La Seleccion, Espirito Santo has been impressed with the World Cup winner and wants Forest to sign him.

A deal has already been agreed in the way of a fee. Forest will need to pay Sevilla around £9.5 million to sign Montiel on a permanent basis.

The man who won the Europa League last season has been sublime under Espirito Santo; starting all but one of the games he’s taken charge of and claiming two assists.
