According to the Daily Mail, Nottingham Forest are in talks to sign Corinthians midfielder André Luiz, with the Brazilian youngster's transfer fee expected to be around £13.6 million.

André, 20, made his Brazilian league debut just over a year ago and has quickly developed into one of the most exciting young midfielders in the Brasileirão with his outstanding performances.

AC Milan attempted to sign André in January, but the player opted to remain at Corinthians to finish the season. Additionally, Crystal Palace has also been monitoring the Brazilian midfielder.

Nottingham Forest has been seeking to strengthen their midfield after selling Elliot Anderson to Manchester City.

Previously, Forest had attempted to sign Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall and Tijani Reijnders, who joined Al-Qadsiah, but neither move materialized.

Now André has become Forest's new target to bolster their midfield, with the club pushing to complete the deal.
