Renan Lodi agent addresses future
Renan Lodi’s agent has spoken out about his client's future at Nottingham Forest .
Forest are reported to have a £25million purchase option for the full-back but there have been reports regarding his future. Lodi was recently linked with a return to his former club Athletico Paranaense, where he began his career before moving to Atletico Madrid in 2019.
