Igor Jesus out of FC Porto's reach: Forest want crazy money | OneFootball

FC Porto are in the market for a striker, and one of the names identified was Igor Jesus. Even so, the deal is not expected to move forward due to the figures demanded by Nottingham Forest for the Brazilian forward.

Porto’s board showed interest in the player, but demands in the region of €25 to €30 million cooled the process. Given that financial framework, the operation is seen as difficult to complete at this stage.

Besides FC Porto, Juventus are also among the clubs monitoring Igor Jesus’ situation, which increases the competition for a player who is highly valued on the market. Nottingham Forest, managed by Vítor Pereira, are not showing any willingness to significantly lower the price of the attacker.

The search for a new striker fits into the strategy defined to strengthen the squad under Francesco Farioli. André Villas-Boas has already publicly stated his intention to make changes in the attacking department, identifying the position as one of the priorities for the new season.

At the moment, Igor Jesus remains on the radar, but the figures demanded by the English club are, for now, keeping FC Porto from making a more concrete move. The dossier will likely depend on a possible change in the terms of the deal or the identification of more affordable alternatives on the market.
