Rodrigo, perceived as a beacon for the future, could join the Premier League club on a loan initially, with a potential full transfer exceeding £10 million. This arrangement includes a six-year term, signifying Forest’s commitment to nurturing his talent for the long haul.
With plans progressing smoothly, Rodrigo is set to journey to Nottingham for a medical, paving the way for his anticipated integration into the team. His journey from Alfenense to Sporting Lisbon’s academy in 2017, followed by his professional debut in 2021, has been nothing short of meteoric.
Despite being in the early stages of his career, Rodrigo has already graced the pitch in a Champions League match against Manchester City, showcasing his potential on a grand stage. His current season tally stands at two goals from ten appearances in Liga 3, hinting at a promising future.
With Forest’s next game on the horizon against Bournemouth, fans and pundits alike are eager to see if Rodrigo’s potential signing will be a game-changer for the club’s fortunes.
