nottingham forest It appears they are interested in signing a Brazilian defender and this could influence Sunderland's move for Jhon Lucumi.
The Colombian player's current deal with the Italian club expires in 2027. They have failed to tie him down further, with the player set to play for Colombia at the World Cup.
sports witness It covers how Sunderland pushed for his signature in the summer. They had an offer on the table but the Rossoblu were not keen to lose more players, selling Dan Ndoye and Sam Beukema in the same window.
Now, Bologna may have no choice due to his contract situation and are looking for a replacement. This is where Nottingham Forest could jump into the situation and make a move for Gremio's Vieri.

tutomercatoweb It seems certain that Lukumi will be gone in the summer. He is very attracted by the prospect of a more ambitious experience, especially because Bologna will not play in Europe next season.
The Italian side see Gremio's Vieri as a replacement. They see him as someone who could make Bologna quickly forget about Lucumi but Nottingham Forest are offering competition.
As things stand, they are not the only club in pursuit. Bologna knows this and is already trying to study the feasibility of a summer transfer.
He is confident that Vieri has a future with the Brazilian national team. He has been described as 'the indispensable brick in the wall' for Grêmio, despite only being in his first full season with the club. As a result, they do not want to miss out on this opportunity, as the left-footed defender's current deal expires in 2029.
Vieri could solve a long-term need
Nottingham Forest's Murillo has been continuously linked with a transfer from the City Ground for almost a year. Since they have failed to qualify for Europe, there is a possibility that he could be snapped up by another club in the summer.
Vieri could become a long-term replacement for Murillo and is unlikely to cost big bucks. Given how confident Bologna are in him, it's very likely that his value will increase significantly over the next few years.
The Italian side is rarely wrong about players. This is evident in how they have sold players like Dan Ndoye, Riccardo Calafiori and Joshua Zirkzee.
Santiago Castro, Jonathan Rowe and Lucumi have made good progress in Renato Dall'Ara. That's why their interest in Vieri should be seen as a major positive by Nottingham Forest.
