Nottingham Forest defender Renan Lodi has been linked with a summer move to Italian giants Juventus.
The Brazilian is on-loan at the City Ground from Atletico Madrid having been one of 30 players to join Steve Cooper's side since their promotion to the Premier League last year.
Lodi has been a regular in the Reds defence since his arrival at the club. The 24-year-old has made 24 appearances across all competitions for Forest.

But Juventus have now been linked with a summer move for the defender according to Spanish outlet Fichajes. They claim in quotes translated by SportWitness that the Old Lady are looking to replace Alex Sandro, whose contract is running out this summer, with Lodi seen as an alternative.
They also claim that Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has been unconvinced by the Forest defender and that the club would be happy to negotiate with Juventus this summer.
The Reds reportedly have an option to buy Lodi for €30million (around £26m) in the summer but there are no guarantees they will take that up, with Lodi now being linked with a move elsewhere at the end of the season.
