Nottingham Forest loanee Renan Lodi seems set to stay at the City Ground this season as there is reportedly 'no ongoing negotiation' with Brazilian side Athletico Paranaense.
The 16-cap Brazil international has been training back with the Curitiba-based club he first joined as a teenager in recent days and is "keeping his shape" after not being named in the national team's squad for the World Cup. Lodi has made eight appearances for the Reds since arriving from parent side Atletico Madrid in late August.
A first goal for the club came against Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup third round victory, and the left-back also started the final match before the Premier League paused against Crystal Palace, another win. Despite playing reasonably regularly, photos of the player back in Brazil had contributed to rumours about an early end to the loan agreement.
