Forest aim to trump Serie A trio with January Leo Ortiz bid

The 29 year-old, who only moved to Flamengo last year from RB Bragantino, is expected to leave for Europe in January.

Bolavip says Forest chief Edu is keen on Ortiz, though face major competition from Italy's biggest clubs.

Napoli, Juventus and Roma are also interested in Ortiz, though Forest are bringing forward their plans.

Rather than wait until next summer, Forest intend to make an offer in January for the Brazil international.
