It has been reported that Nottingham Forest are keen on a transfer for Manchester City youngster Carlos Borges.
This comes from a report by ESPN about the 19-year-old, who was previously garnering interest from West Ham United.
However, it seems Carlos Borges is now seriously being pursued by Nottingham Forest in the ongoing summer transfer window.
Nottingham Forest eyeing Carlos Borges transfer
The teenager was recognised as the Premier League’s 2 Player of the Season, with an incredible 29 goals and 18 assists to his name in 33 games.
OneFootball once claimed that Pep Guardiola could end up becoming a huge admirer of the Portuguese winger, who is a blend of Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane, which shows how gifted he is.
Nottingham Forest are clearly aware of Carlos Borges’ potential, as they have been claimed to be ‘interested’ in signing him next season.
Additionally, the treble winners have slapped an £11 million price tag on the speedster but currently, it remains unclear whether the club really want to sell the prodigy.
To add to that, the youngster has only a year left on his contract but it is still possible that if the talks advance beyond the current preliminary stage, he signs a new deal and leaves City on loan.
A loan move for Borges would be ideal
Whether it is Nottingham Forest or elsewhere, Manchester City should prioritize a loan move for Carlos Borges.
The skilful wideman is clearly extremely talented and one can say that his profile as a direct winger blessed with pace and 1v1 ability is missing in the first-team as well.
As a result, the plan involving Borges should be to send him on loan to a Premier League team to assess how he performs.
Based on that, the Sky Blues should take a final decision on whether he fits into their plans for the future instead of just sanctioning an outright sale.
