Nottingham Forest continue to be linked with Brazilian holding midfielder Pablo Maia but have another competitor for his signature to join the growing list of admirers linked with trying to buy him this summer.
The Reds have been ‘closely monitoring’ the Sao Paulo player in recent weeks but Premier League rivals Brentford are also understood to be keen on the 21-year-old’s services following earlier reports linking him with Newcastle United, West Ham and Fulham in the UK and Spanish side Atletico Madrid.
The defensive midfielder has made 84 appearances for his Brazilian side since making his debut last year after graduating from the club’s youth set-up. He has scored five goals and provided one assist so far during his career.
