■ NOTTINGHAM FOREST

are closing in on Atletico Madrid left-back Renan Lodi. Negotiations had hit a snag on Friday but positive talks followed and the deal will be a major coup for Steve Cooper with Brazilian international Lodi having been followed by the likes of Manchester City. Forest will pay an initial loan fee of £4.7million with the option to buy set at £25.4m for Lodi, who has 15 caps. Atletico have agreed to sign Tottenham’s Sergio Reguilon as the 24-year-old’s replacement. Forest remain in talks with Wolves to sign defender Willy Boly for around £2m.
