Nottingham Forest striker Igor Jesus has emerged on Flamengo's radar, according to Brazilian journalist julio miguel neto.
The report suggests that Flamengo are keeping a close eye on the 24-year-old player. However, there is no formal approach towards forest at this level. The situation in Brazil is being described as an observation rather than a discussion.
Igor Jesus joined Forest in July 2025 and signed a four-year contract running until June 30, 2029. The Premier League side paid around €11.5m (£10m) to secure him.
The report states that he is currently valued at around €20m (approximately £17m) in Brazil. If Nottingham Forest were ever to sell around that level, it would represent a huge profit in less than a year.
Nottingham Forest have taken control of the situation
There is no indication that the forest needs to be sold. No financial pressures have been reported. Additionally, Igor Jesus is part of the team rotation and has scored goals when given minutes. He's not an unquestioned starter, but he's proven to be useful depth with the upside prospects.
Meanwhile, Flamengo are targeting a high-profile forward. they found ways to richardson at tottenham hotspur and evanilsson bournemouth. Those activities reflect the level they are aiming for.
Internally, Flamengo is ready to invest up to €30m (approximately £25.5 million) for a guaranteed, undisputed starting striker. And Igor Jesus fits that description. He left Brazil last year as one of the country's most prolific strikers, scoring 17 goals in 59 appearances in Botafogo colours.
Furthermore, he matches their preferences for players under the age of 26 and provides tactical flexibility in the front line.
Season results can shape the conversation
Nottingham Forest's final Premier League position could influence the tone of any future negotiations. Survival will naturally strengthen their negotiating stance. However, even in a more complex scenario, the contract until 2029 provides significant benefits to the forest.
For now, this seems like a situation to monitor rather than a developing transfer battle. Flamengo are watching closely. Forest keeps the contractual advantage and is firmly in control of the next move.
