The 26-year-old defender has been with Fluminense since 2019 and currently wears the skipper’s armband for them.
He comes with vast experience having represented the club in more than 200 top-flight games and has also won a gold medal with Brazil’s Olympic team.
Dutch side Feyenoord, Turkish outfit Besiktas and Saudi Arabia’s Al-Shabab were all interested in Nino but the Rio-based club blocked their approaches.
However, according to Brazilian outlet UOL, an agreement is all but done between Steve Cooper’s side and the defender.
The parties involved are though keeping the details of the terms under the radar given Fluminense’s upcoming Copa Libertadores final on Saturday against Boca Juniors.
Nottingham Forest have been one of the most active clubs in the transfer market following their promotion at the end of the 2021/22 season.
In spite of that, they have struggled and after escaping relegation last season, currently languish 16th with ten points from ten games.
