Brazilian defender Nino hopes that he can sign for Nottingham Forest in the winter.

The 26-year-old has been linked to the City Ground team for several months.

Per SPORT1 in Germany, the Fluminense centre back does have an offer from Eintracht Frankfurt.

However, he appears to have his heart set on Forest, according to Florian Plettenberg.

On the transfer speculation, Fluminense president Mario Bittencourt stated recently: "I said to Nino, 'If you decide to stay in Brazil, I'll make every effort, I'll increase your contract, so you can stay with us for eight, nine, 10 years'.

"He said he really wants to play in Europe, it's a dream for him and his family.

“We may lose (him), but we're working to replace (him)."
