Nottingham Forest is making significant efforts to acquire Richard Rios from Palmeiras during the January transfer window. Although Rios has a release clause priced at €100 million, it is improbable that Nottingham Forest will agree to pay such a sum. The competition for Rios is fierce, with both Tottenham and Everton showing considerable interest in the Colombian midfielder. Sources have suggested that Nottingham Forest, along with other Premier League teams, are unlikely to agree to the substantial release clause imposed by Palmeiras, although Forest is still eager to secure Rios. His outstanding performances in Brazil have attracted the attention of numerous European clubs, turning this into a highly competitive transfer race.
