Nottingham Forest could lose out in the race for two Brazilian left-backs this summer.
The Reds have been consistently linked with a move to bring Renan Lodi back after his successful loan spell last season, however, Benfica have emerged as the leading contenders with various outlets casting doubt on Forest's chances.
Lodi's days at Atletico Madrid look numbered with the player not in Diego Simeone's plans. Forest could have signed the Brazil international for around £25m during his loan spell but the deadline for a deal passed as they battled relegation.
