Although Nottingham Forest has an option to buy the Brazilian, it appears they will not exercise it.
He left because he wanted playing minutes to go to the World Cup, but the “playing” went wrong. Renan Lodi He eventually left Atlético de Madrid to be loaned to the Premier League. Specifically, to Nottingham Forest. However, his adventure in the English championship could be short-lived. The English, who agreed a loan interest with Atleti until June, saved a purchase option of 30 million euros for the footballer. However, according to the English press, they will not implement that purchase option, so Lodi would return to Atleti until June 30, 2026, with whom he has a contract for another three seasons..
Atlético de Madrid, on the other hand, is very clear that barring an unexpected decision by the club and the coach, the Brazilian left-back will be one of the chosen ones to earn ‘cash’ next summer. It is planned that the Brazilian will return on the orders of Diego Pablo Simeone and even do the pre-season, then try to transfer the player.. Renan Lodi has a very good bill in the Premier, Bundesliga and Serie A, with several teams interested in taking over his services. Atlético, who once paid 21 million for his transfer to Athletico Paranaense, are aiming to sell Lodi for around 18 million, an amount that would allow him to recoup his investment remarkably and with which he could earn good money and then strengthen your staff.
If Renan Lodi is finally transferred this summer, as everything seems to indicate, Atleti will have to strengthen against that left-back. Firstly because Reinildo is still recovering from his very serious cruciate ligament injury, which will keep him off the field until the autumn. Secondly, because Sergio Reguilón will end his loan spell on June 30 and return to Tottenham Hotspur after hardly making any appearances for Atleti this season. And third, as Yannick Carrasco, who this season serves as a winger in a defense of five, has signed a purchase option with FC Barcelona for an amount of 20 million euros and his departure from the club is very likely. Even if Barç did not agree to pay that amount for Carrasco due to his financial problems and his excessive “fair play”, the Belgian has a good reputation in Europe and the club believes it would be a good time to try to get over his transfer to negotiate. .
That is to say that Atlético de Madrid should strengthen in the left lane this summer as the aim is to transfer Renan Lodi, to get rid of Reguilón in June and try to make a ‘box’ with Carrasco regardless of the recovery of Reinildo due to his injury.
