# Nottingham Forest: Reds pushing to sign Renan Lodi

**[Nottingham Forest](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/nottingham-forest-news/) are pushing to sign Atletico Madrid left-back Renan Lodi on loan this summer, reports transfer window expert Fabrizio Romano.**

### **The Lowdown: Fantastic season**

The 24-year-old enjoyed a brilliant campaign under Diego Simeone last season after playing a pivotal role in the side’s domestic and continental competition runs.

The Brazil international [played in all](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/renan-lodi/leistungsdaten/spieler/476352/plus/0?saison=2021) of Atletico’s Champions League games, helping the team reach the quarter-finals, in which they were [knocked out](https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/history/seasons/2022/matches/) by [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) winners Manchester City.

In [29 La Liga appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/renan-lodi/leistungsdaten/spieler/476352/plus/0?saison=2021), Lodi produced two goals and three assists, cementing himself as an important player for Simeone – whether that be as part of the starting XI or coming off the bench as a substitute.

### **The Latest: Forest’s interest**

After [news emerged](https://twitter.com/jac_talbot/status/1562422332303388673) linking Lodi with a move to Forest, Romano has now shared an update on the progress of a potential deal.

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1563421554989338624), the reliable journalist claimed:

“Nottingham Forest are pushing to sign Renan Lodi on loan from Atletico Madrid. €5m loan fee offered, also buy option could be included – around €30m. #NFFC

“Talks still ongoing on clubs and player side, but Forest are pushing after Atletico changed their position on LB.”

### **The Verdict: Huge signing**

Given Lodi has been [considered](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11150395/Nottingham-Forests-ambitious-bid-sign-Atletico-Madrid-left-Renan-Lodi-takes-hitch.html) by the likes of Man City this summer, his arrival at the City Ground would demonstrate a huge change in Forest’s pulling power in the transfer market, having emerged as a big spender as a new Premier League side.

According to [FBRef,](https://fbref.com/en/players/ed9f7cfe/Renan-Lodi) compared with positional peers across Europe over the past year, the left-back ranks in the 98th percentile for progressive passes received, in the 95th percentile for non-penalty goals and in the 92nd percentile for assists, providing major creative influence from the flank.

The Brazil international, who has been dubbed a[‘hero’](https://twitter.com/samleveridge/status/1503834200323104779) by journalist Sam Leveridge, would make an incredible addition for Steve Cooper’s squad, with Champions League experience an obvious standout on the player’s CV.
