Igor Jesus was proposed to Olympique Lyonnais for a time, but no deal was reached. Instead, he completed a transfer to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, where he signed a four-year contract following his impressive performance in the Club World Cup with Botafogo. Nottingham Forest expressed their delight in acquiring the 24-year-old forward, who was pivotal in Botafogo's campaign, notably scoring the decisive goal against Paris Saint-Germain. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market worth at 15 million euros.
