Stays at ForestNo move“Nottingham Forest goalkeeper becomes priority for new Brazilian chief – Talks already underway. Nottingham Forest may finally have a way to move John Victor on in January, with another Brazilian club now preparing to make an offer for the goalkeeper.”
In the article“According to Brazilian outlet RTI Esporte, Vasco have already opened conversations with John Victor’s representatives.”
The sourcing here is slim. RTI Esporte carried the report that Vasco have begun talking to his camp and are preparing an offer, and Sport Witness was carrying it by 6 November. That is a single thread, passed along. No trusted reporter has backed it, and every outlet carrying it is a tabloid or an aggregator, so treat the claim as a claim.
The chance of this completing in the January window is faint. Talks with representatives are a long way from an agreed fee between clubs, and until Vasco turn their preparation into an actual offer, there is nothing solid to weigh. Forest hold his registration until 30 June 2028, so they set the terms of any exit.
What would move this on is concrete: a first bid from Vasco, a figure Forest are willing to discuss, and firm confirmation from a reporter beyond the aggregators. An opening offer when the window opens on 4 January 2027 would be the first real signal.
