Right now, two clear things must be going through the mind of the central defender and captain of Fluminense, Marcilio Florencio Mota Filho, better known as Nino.
The first, the Club World Cup, the new obsession of a Fluzão who is already in Arabia with the intention of fighting for the World Cup title.
The second, and the most complicated of all, is its future. The 26-year-old footballer would have asked to leave the club in January and his arrival at Nottingham Forest would have already been agreed upon. However, talks between Fluminense and the English team appear to have stalled and rumors about a possible arrival in Germany have emerged in recent days.

Nino would have already reached a verbal agreement with Nottingham Forest, but the agreement between clubs has not yet been defined
The German journalist from Sky Sports , Florian Plettenberg, gives us clues about the “Nino operation” and clarifies the situation to know where the operation is that could take him to the Premier League once the Club World Cup ends.
In his report, this source assures that, despite the fact that the verbal agreement between Nottingham Forest and Nino is complete, the big problem (and what would stop the operation) would be the price that Fluminense is asking to get rid of the defender.

The Brazilian club would be asking for close to 6 million dollars for his transfer, a figure that Nottingham Forest does not seem willing to pay. The aforementioned source assures that, despite the fact that negotiations between both clubs are still in force, the final agreement seems complicated.
Now, regarding the rumors of a possible entry of Eintracht Frankfurt in the bid for the Brazilian, Plettenberg closes by assuring that, despite the fact that there was interest, the German club will not try to negotiate for Nino.
