Nottingham Forest have made a third bid for Sporting Lisbon striker Fredy Montero. The bid us believed to be for a fee of £1.5 million.

Very much doubt it. He has a 60 million euro release clause. Not coming to us for 1.5

Agree with Lincoln Rob, valued between £8-10m with a ridiculous release clause.

Decent forward though, 82 goals in 216 appearances. Would be an outstanding addition to most teams of our ilk.

Not sure where that release clause would've come from but since he only joined Sporting in January for £1m on 4 year deal not sure he would be available.

This seems unlikely however I agree with the ethos of looking abroad instead of naming the usual candidates.

Whilst I also think this is unlikely, I wouldn't pay much attention to the release clause. In some countries it is a contractual obligation to have one, so they're often sky high and unrealistic.

He joined Sporting in July 2013 on loan and completed the permanent transfer in January. There are top division European sides after him too, so I can't see him coming to Forest.

Just to add a bit more info on release clauses; Sporting have just signed Ryan Gauld from Dundee Utd and he has a £48m release clause!

Talk of looking abroad, if we were early enough we could have snapped up ex-legend's son Cristian Silenzi who has just signed for Milan. Sure there would have been wonderful things he heard about Nottingh lol

He only signed for them in January for €2m. So unless he's had a big fallout or they want rid, I can't see us getting him for that amount of money. Does anyone know if this lad is decent? I know his wpedia page says he scores, but is he a good player?
