Nottingham Forest are closing in on completing their 18th signing of the summer after Renan Lodi reportedly passed his medical.
The Atletico Madrid wing-back has been linked with a move to the City Ground recently as Steve Cooper aims to have two players available for each position. Summer signing Omar Richards is currently out following a pre-season injury shortly after his move from Bayern Munich.
Reports earlier in the week said that Forest were 'pushing' for Lodi and were awaiting Sergio Reguilon's move to Madrid to complete the deal. There is said to be an agreement between the Reds and Atletico which will see an initial €5million loan fee paid, with an option to buy for €30million.
