Nottingham Forest fans would love to see Renan Lodi at the club next season, but a tighter budget and the return of a forgotten man could cloud the situation.
The Reds secured a transfer coup last summer when they brought in Brazil left-back Lodi on loan from Atletico Madrid as part of a £160m spending spree to get the team Premier League ready in double quick time.
A slow start saw him miss out on the World Cup, but Lodi's form improved sharply to the point he became a fan favourite.
