The Brazilian wing-back made 42 appearances across all competitions for Atletico Madrid last season and was a key part of their squad.
However, he remained an unused substitute in the first two La Liga games and his future at the club is now under the scanner.
Newly-promoted Premier League outfit Nottingham Forest, who have signed 16 players thus far this summer, have identified him as another potential recruit.
And it has been claimed that Nottingham Forest are now in talks with Atletico Madrid to secure a deal to sign Lodi on loan.
The Forest recruitment team admire Lodi’s tenacity and his ability to contribute to a team’s attacks.
Portuguese super agent Jorge Mendes is acting as an intermediary between the two clubs as talks progress.
It is unclear whether Atletico Madrid would be willing to let the wing-back out on a simple loan deal.
However, they are facing a few financial constraints and could see an opportunity to offload Lodi as a welcome one.
