Latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive as Reds eye Real Betis centre-back Luiz Felipe
That's according to reports in Spain, who claim that the offer was deemed too low by the La Liga outfit. Forest's bid is understood to have been in the region of €15m .
Betis are willing to part ways with the Brazilian for around €20million but it is claimed Forest's offer didn't match their asking price. Felipe has also been subject of interest from Monaco and Saudi Arabia. But other teams are yet to present a formal offer for his services. Steve Cooper is looking to bolster his defensive options as Felipe recovers from a knee issue that prevented him from featuring in pre-season.READ MORE: Nottingham Forest and Dean Henderson frustrated by Manchester United transfer stance
The report adds that Felipe's representatives have come to Seville several times to hold discussions over a possible move. A move is looking to be on the cards despite only joining last summer from Lazio, on a five-year contract.Speaking about transfers, Cooper said: "There's nothing imminent. I have to trust the club to crack on with the work.
"My work is to work with the team every day, come in every day and try to get the best out of them. That’s why, at half-time, I was telling them, ‘come on, guys, you can do better than this’Who would you like to see Forest sign at centre-back? Tell us in the comments section...
