Nottingham Forest’s rejected offer to sign Pedro, a striker from Flamengo, has been followed by devastating news for the player. According to reports from Globo in Brazil, Pedro suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee during a training session with the Brazil national team in Curitiba. This injury comes just days after Nottingham Forest’s failed attempt to sign him due to a disagreement over the transfer fee.
The 27-year-old Brazilian striker has been in excellent form for Flamengo, scoring 30 goals in all competitions in 2024. He has established himself as a consistent goalscorer for the club, redeeming himself after a disappointing stint at Fiorentina. Unfortunately, this is Pedro’s second ACL injury, which will likely keep him sidelined for an extended period.
The timing of this injury is particularly cruel, as Pedro was on the verge of becoming a regular fixture in the Brazil national team. His absence will be deeply felt by both Flamengo and the national team. Nottingham Forest, who had expressed interest in signing Pedro, will now have to look elsewhere for a striker, as Pedro’s injury rules out any possibility of a transfer in the near future.
