Nottingham Forest gave Brazilian midfielder Gustavo Scarpa permission to return home after the star lost £1million in an alleged cryptocurrency fraud.
Attacking ace Scarpa, 29, joined Forest in January on a free transfer from Palmeiras in his homeland. However, he has not played in Forest’s last four games after being caught up in financial turmoil in Brazil.
The star is involved in a legal claim with three companies including WLJC, which promised returns of three-and-a-half to five per cent per month on investments. But the firm failed to pay up to Scarpa and another Palmeiras player, Mayke, when they tried to get their money back.
