'Impossible' Nottingham Forest transfer problem revealed by club chief amid £35m link

Nottingham Forest transfer target Beto will be "impossible to keep" in the summer transfer window, his club's owner has said.

Forest have been tipped to make a "monstrous offer" for the 25-year-old, who could leave Udinese in the coming weeks for a fee as high as £35million. That's the reported value of his release clause, which could spark something of a bidding war.

A number of top Italian clubs are said to be interested in signing the Portuguese forward, and Udinese owner Giampaolo Pozzo has made a difficult admission about what the future might hold for his star man.

“He has great potential and is still young,” Pozzo told Gazzetta dello Sport. “But if an offer arrives from a big name, it will be impossible to keep him.”

Everton reportedly failed with £20m bid in January, while Napoli are also said to be interested in the forward. That comes as no surprise, given he has scored 21 goals in 46 starts for his club.

Udinese director Pierpaolo Marino said back in February: “He has enormous room for improvement. We can only be happy for him, and enjoy him as long as we can.

“He has the characteristics to become a footballer very similar to Victor Osimhen.”
