The 23-year-old forward, currently at Botafogo, has been a target for several Premier League clubs following his impressive performances in Brazil and on the international stage.
Forest’s interest in Jesus dates back to January, when they made a €30 million bid for the striker. At that time, Jesus declined the move, expressing a preference to remain in Brazil and continue his development with Botafogo. However, recent developments suggest that Forest have renewed their efforts to bring him to the Premier League. The club’s potential qualification for European competitions could be a decisive factor in convincing Jesus to make the move.
Botafogo, having secured the Copa Libertadores title in 2024, are reportedly open to negotiations, with a valuation of around €30 million for their star player. While other clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea, have shown interest, Forest’s persistence and the allure of European football may give them an edge in the race for Jesus’s signature.
As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on Forest’s ability to finalize the deal and bolster their attacking options with the addition of Igor Jesus.
