Danilo, a midfielder for Palmeiras, is reportedly up for acquisition by Nottingham for £18 million with add-ons.
After Forest attempted to sign the 21-year-old in the summer of last year, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid have shown interest in him.
If the deal does go through, it will be the 24th signing for Steve Cooper’s side this season.
- He made his debut from the bench in Forest’s 1-0 win over Southampton and made his first start in the FA Cup on Saturday, losing 4-1 to Blackpool.
Despite his youth, Danilo has already established himself as a regular in Brazil, and played 53 games for the club across 2022 as they won three trophies.
Cooper has admitted he wants to strengthen in the coming weeks, as he said on Monday: ‘We’re in the middle of the season in January and we have the opportunity to improve the squad.
‘I’m only thinking about what’s next. I’ve got a really strong relationship with Filippo [Giraldi, Forest’s sporting director] and that’s good in trying to make the right decisions in terms of moving forward.
‘It’s a really busy time with it being January and I do know there’s a lot of work going on.’
