Nottingham Forest reportedly tried to sign Palmeiras starlet Giovani in the January window.
That's according to ESPN Brasil, who claim that Forest offered the forward a six-month loan, with an option to buy. However, the offer is said to have not "pleased" the Palmeiras hierarchy, nor the player's agent at the time.
Giovani came through Verdao's academy and made his senior debut in November 2021 under boss Abel Ferreira. He has since caught the eye of European clubs, with Everton and Newcastle said to be monitoring his development.
