Felipe, a Nottingham Forest defender, has just announced his retirement from football at the end of the 2023/24 season.
The player broke the shock on his official Instagram account.
So, what has Forest star Felipe said about his future? Let’s look more closely.
Felipe, a Nottingham Forest footballer, has announced his retirement at the end of this season.
To be honest, this is a bit surprising, given that Felipe is more than capable of completing a work someplace.
At 34 years old, it was exceedingly improbable that Forest would keep him, but he still a good defender.
It was recently revealed that Forest star Felipe had other offers ready when he left the Reds this summer.
He has now turned to Instagram to announce that he will retire playing football after the current season concludes. It reads:
Felipe has been a valuable addition to Forest since his £1.8 million transfer from Atletico Madrid in January 2023.
He has made 23 appearances for Forest and has quickly become a fan favourite.
Last season, Stephen Kelly described him as’sensational’ following a strong performance in a 4-3 victory over Southampton.
Who will replace Felipe at City Ground?
Forest will have been planning for this scenario anyhow, as the defender‘s new deal is improbable.
Murillo is the most likely candidate to take over for Felipe at Forest.
However, Forest will need to stay on top of him, and Andrew Omobamidele should not be overlooked.
When called upon, the teenager has performed admirably, and he appears to be returning to the club next season.
Forest also still have Moussa Niakhate at the club, and it will be intriguing to see how things play out this summer.
Felipe will ideally sail off into the sunset, with Forest guaranteed another season in the Premier League.
Whatever happens, the Brazilian may be proud that he always gave his all when he pulled on the Garibaldi.
