As with any football team, Nottingham Forest is having a difficult week. On Tuesday, Steve Cooper, the manager who had supported the Tricky Trees through many difficult periods, was let go.
Two days later, according to Fabrizio Romano, a football player who was hailed as a future global star will no longer play at City Ground.

Interest of Atletico Mineiro.
The Brazilian Gustavo Scarpa, a midfielder, was set to go, according to the Italian journalist. The 29-year-old, who is now on loan at Greek club Olympiacos, will return home after the Tricky Trees approved a bid of more than £4 million from Brazilian Serie A team Atletico Mineiro.
“Personal terms agreed and documents being exchanged soon,” stated Romano. Scarpa joined Forest in the 2022 season after playing his last game in Brazil with Palmeiras. Before his brief stay in Europe with the Tricky Trees and Olympiacos, he played football for nine years in the Brazilian division.
Scarpa scored seventy-one goals before to joining Forest. The original contract he signed said he would remain at City Ground until 2026. Poor form and a lack of playing time resulted in a loan move to Greece. But the midfielder hasn’t been able to establish himself as a starter, even at Olympiacos.
Years ago, Scarpa was known as “The Brazilian Beckham,” having progressed through the Fluminense junior program as a promising player. Following his 2017 debut with his country’s senior squad, the 23-year-old appeared to have a bright future. With just eleven Forest outings to his credit, he leaves as the first player to do so after Cooper was fired.
