It looks that Nottingham Forest will not be able to sign Carlos Borges before the transfer window ends.
The Ajax winger has been attracting the attention of the Reds, who want to increase their offensive options before the deadline on Thursday. According to reports, they had “advanced talks” about getting the adolescent a loan relocation.
John van ‘t Schip, the head coach of Ajax, has, however, ruled out the 19-year-old leaving. According to him, Borges is necessary to guarantee that the Dutch team has enough depth.
Following his team’s victory over Heracles Almelo on Saturday, the Ajax manager claimed at a press conference (via Voetbalzone) that “we said it is simply not possible.” “As you can see, we merely need players there since Steven Bergwijn is injured. Forbs (Borges) is undoubtedly a player who is staying put right now.
Borges was being watched by Forest last summer before he signed a 14 million euro (£12 million) contract to leave Manchester City for Ajax. He currently goes by the name Forbs. This month, as they look to add reinforcements at the top of the pitch, they were reported to have rekindled that interest.
However, rumors have it that other people were also smitten with the child. Borges was also being linked to Burnley in an attempt to get him back to the Premier League.
This month, Reds head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has not yet added to his team. Although managing outgoings is Forest’s main priority, they still hope to add a few important players.
When asked if he needs more offensive resources on Wednesday, Nuno responded, “Yes, we are working on that.” We’ve got a week to handle that.
“More options are needed. I told you a while back that we are looking for the kind of player that we want. Players that can bring something new to the table are what we are looking for.
That’s the challenging aspect about it. to add players that can contribute to the club in a variety of circumstances.
“Having players who can play multiple positions is very important. Now more than ever, that is crucial. Because it enables you to lower the numbers while maintaining your desired selections, it is quite specific.
