Report:£7,113,600 flop defender to depart club as new details emerges

Nottingham Forest are right to release flop who earned more than Murillo

Since being promoted back to the Premier League in 2022, Nottingham Forest has undoubtedly had hit and

achievements in the East Midlands.

After an award-winning season in Brazil, Gustavo Scarpa came to the club with high expectations.

However, he left after just ten games, failing to score or assist on a single goal.

But the team also had one player who just never quite fit in at the Reds, and Nuno Espírito Santo made the right

decision by letting him leave the City Ground this summer.

experience after joining on a free transfer from another Premier League team Crystal Palace in the summer of

2022.

Upon arriving at the City Ground, the 34-year-old struck a two-year contract, intending to play one more season

in the Premier League.

The Senegal international made 21 league appearances in his debut season at the club, starting just seven games

and managing just one goal in 2022–2023 (his only season overall).

He joined the team this season and has made just 12 appearances, assuming a squad role. But he’s discovered

that starts are even more scarce—he’s only had two throughout the 2023–2024 campaign, both of which came

The club announced that he will be leaving the Reds at the end of his current contract, which expires at the end

of the month, capping his two-year stay at the City Ground.
