According to reports from Greece, Nottingham Forest midfielder Gustavo Scarpa is struggling during his loan spell at Olympiacos.
It was suggested that a return to Brazil would suit him well, as he was unable to adapt to European football.
Today, we see journalist Jorge Nicola discussing the Nottingham Forest player’s situation and the possibility of relocating to South America.
With Scarpa struggling, it is expected that Brazilian clubs will contact Tricky Trees and Olympiacos for a January transfer.
That type of move, however, is unlikely to occur. People close to the player, according to Nicola, have told him that he will remain in Greece at least until the end of the season.
Nottingham Forest are attempting to re-acclimate Scarpa to English football and are not interested in loaning him out to Brazil at this time.
The midfielder’s contract with the Tricky Trees expires in 2026, so this is just the beginning of a long soap opera.

Nottingham Forest press conference notes – Cooper admits to subs as the Wood impact is highlighted
Nottingham Forest news as Steve Cooper’s Reds prepare to play Liverpool in the Premier League.
Nottingham Forest travel to Anfield on Sunday hoping to put last weekend’s disappointment behind them.
The Reds blew a two-goal lead at the City Ground, drawing 2-2 with Luton Town. It extended their winless streak to five games, though four of them were draws.
Steve Cooper’s team will travel to Liverpool next. Forest’s head coach addressed the media in his pre-match press conference ahead of the match on Merseyside. Here’s a look at how it all turned out.
Subs in Luton
Cooper’s changes against the Hatters are still being discussed almost a week later. The subject came up again ahead of Sunday’s game.
The final outcome was not solely due to substitutions. However, the Welshman admitted that the calls he made did not have the desired effect.
“We made some poor decisions on the pitch and some poor decisions off the pitch, there’s no doubt about that,” he added. “We have to own it, and I have to own it.” We are doing and have completed.
“No coach makes changes to negatively impact a game.” You always make the best of intentions when making changes.
“However, when things don’t go as planned, you have to hold your hands up.” Some of the players on the field would agree.
“There’s no way we’re going to hide. I’m not going to avoid anything that could have been better. But we must accept it, own it, and use it as motivation to never do it again.”
a wooden brace
Chris Wood’s brace did not receive the attention it would have received had the hosts won all three points. Wood has been tasked with leading the line for the Reds in the absence of the injured Taiwo Awoniyi – and he put in a solid individual performance at the City Ground, even if he could have added to his tally further.
Due to an injury, the New Zealander missed the end of the previous season. Whether he has played or not, he has been a key figure in the dressing room since joining from Newcastle United.
“Woody suffered an unfortunate injury that was quite serious, and he didn’t return until a few weeks into pre-season.” “He spent the entire summer in rehab, trying to get ready,” Cooper explained.
“He prepared well and has performed admirably. He’s looked good in practice, looking fit and fresh.
“Due to Taiwo’s form, his game time had been limited.” But when he came on in games, he made the kind of difference you want from a sub.”His chance came as a result of Taiwo’s unfortunate injury, and he took advantage of it.” Last week, he did an excellent job of achieving his objectives. He was disappointed that he didn’t get more points because that’s the kind of guy he is.He now has three goals, which is a good return given his playing time.
“He’s a member of the leadership group that the players elected, which indicates that he’s a well-liked and respected individual.” He brings his experience and freely expresses his opinion.”
