Incoming Nottingham Forest man reveals Evangelos Marinakis transfer plan

Incoming Nottingham Forest midfielder Gustavo Scarpa has revealed he was first approached to play for Olympiacos.

Scarpa is due to sign for Nottingham Forest in the new year, once his contract with Brazilian giants Palmeiras expires. The 28-year-old attacking midfielder has been speaking about how he pushed for the deal, and the advice given to him by his current boss Abel Ferreira.

Having received the proposal to play for Olympiacos, Scarpa thought it might be a stepping stone to playing in a higher league. Like Forest, the Greek side are also owned by Evangelos Marinakis and are the top team in the country, regularly playing European football.
