Nottingham Forest player now too expensive for Porto – Juventus remain interested

nottingham forest The decision to gamble on Igor Jesus is becoming smarter with each passing week. Now the striker’s growing reputation is now sparking transfer noise across Europe.

The Brazilian arrived from Botafogo without much fanfare in comparison to some of the attacking names who have arrived in the Premier League in recent windows.

He also arrived without proper leave after a heavy schedule in Brazil and initially had to wait for his opportunity behind Chris Wood.

Now the picture looks completely different. igor jesus has Has already scored 17 goals this season For Nottingham Forest. He has earned his place in the team and has even attracted the attention of Carlo Ancelotti ahead of Brazil’s World Cup plans.

This growth is naturally attracting clubs from elsewhere in Europe.

European giants striker looming

brazilian journalist andre hernan Juventus and Porto are both reported to be interested in the striker after his impressive debut campaign in England.

According to Hernán, Porto are actively searching for a new centre-forward this summer. However, the Portuguese side are not expected to progress. Igor Jesus’ value has already increased beyond his expectations.

As for Juventus, whose exact plans have not been elaborated upon by the Brazilian journalist, the Italian team has been one of the most wasteful teams in Europe in front of goal this season.

A quick, aggressive striker has arguably been their biggest weakness all year. So it would not be surprising if Igor Jesus becomes a real target.

The striker is now reportedly worth between €25m-30m (£21.1m-25.3m).

What’s next for Nottingham Forest?

Porto’s interest makes sense from a scouting perspective. The Portuguese club have a long history of targeting Brazilian attackers before their prices rise in Europe. However, Forest may have already passed Igor Jesus by that stage.

So Juventus is naturally a matter of more serious concern. The Italian side can operate in a different financial bracket and hope to strengthen their attack again this summer.

Still, forests are not under pressure. The striker remains under contract and his importance within the team continues to grow. Furthermore, the Brazil call-up is likely to increase his value even more in the coming months.

At this stage, the sentiment is less about an impending transfer and more about the market beginning to realize that Forest could be getting a very valuable asset.

2 terrifying stats show NY Mets season is already lost as 12 games remain miserable

A pair of absurd statistics highlighted the fact that the New York Mets season is already over after their 12-game losing streak on Tuesday.

There were high expectations for the Mets entering the 2026 season. Despite a disastrous finish last fall that saw them lose and miss the playoffs, the team’s offseason moves have given fans reason to believe they can contend for the National League East title this year.

However, after starting the year with a solid 7-4 record, things have descended into chaos. After a tough 5-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night, in which they led 3-0 at one point, the Mets’ losing streak is now 12 games. Following this latest setback, MLB.com Mets writer Anthony DiComo noted two interesting statistics that show the current campaign has already been a losing one for the Queens team.

New York Mets Record: 7-16

The first is the fact that the team’s ongoing slump puts them in a rare position for a franchise that has seen many terrible teams. Tuesday’s loss now takes them just five games away from tying the 1962 New York Mets’ record 17-game losing streak.

This was the franchise’s first season in existence. They finished the year with a 40–120 record and are viewed as the worst team in MLB history, along with the 2024 Chicago White Sox who finished 41–121. Not too far from one of the worst teams in history, there isn’t much hope for change.

Still, this was not the worst-case scenario described by DiComo. The Mets beat writer also mentioned a stat that will be heard all over New York sports radio on Wednesday. And the fact is that no team in MLB history has ever reached the playoffs after suffering 12 consecutive losses at any point during the season.

This means the 2026 Mets will now have to do something that has never happened in over 150 years of MLB games if they want to make the playoffs. This season feels pretty lost, and it’s only April.

Contract opens up transfer opportunities

Kevin Bouma’s current deal with the Portuguese side runs until 2028. This means he will enter the final two years of his contract with them this summer.

As always, it’s an issue. Ideally, it should sell this summer. its value, Which is worth €6m according to TransfermarktThis is also the highest ever. This is a good price for Estoril but for other clubs like Everton it is a profitable deal.

Denmark boss discusses Kasper Schmeichel injury again as questions remain for Celtic

Denmark head coach Brian Reimer has refused to reveal private talks with Kasper Schmeichel. It comes after the Celtic goalkeeper withdrew from the national team last week.

Schmeichel recently withdrew from the Denmark squad for the next international break citing a shoulder injury.

The decision caused confusion in Denmark with Martin O’Neill revealing that the veteran player was feeling much better on Friday. Reimer later acknowledged that the national system had concerns.

“Our conversations are private” – Reimer brushes off questions

The topic was put to the Danish coach again today, Continuing with his comments in bold. But he was unwilling to reveal what happened between him and the Celtic goalkeeper.

“Kasper is a goalkeeper who has played 120 international matches for Denmark and has been a big part of the national team’s history,” he said.

“He is probably the person I know who has the biggest and most bleeding heart for Denmark, so it is natural to ask this question.

“As I would with all other players, our discussions are obviously a private matter between me and him. That’s the same situation here.”

What this means for Denmark and Celtic

Reimer insisted it was Celtic’s responsibility to update him on the injury. As a result, he wants all questions directed at the Scottish club.

“What I’m dealing with is that Kasper is injured. So, anything to do with his injury and Celtic, I’ll direct the questions that way because that’s not our job,” he said.

He confirmed that Denmark would proceed with the players currently available. He is likely to turn to West Ham’s Mads Hermansen as Filip Jorgensen is injured.

He concluded, “We are working with players we can select and players who will perform for us in the upcoming training camp.”

Denmark now prepare to face North Macedonia on March 26 without their most experienced goalkeeper. It is a huge blow, in a game that is crucial to their hopes of making the World Cup this summer.
