Nottingham Forest's ambitious bid to sign Renan Lodi from Atletico Madrid has been thrown into doubt.
The Premier League newcomers have been in talks to sign the Brazilian left-back on a season-long loan deal but talks between the two clubs have taken a hitch.
Lodi has been considered by Manchester City and others this window but his capture would be huge coup for Forest.
He was a key part of Atletico's team last season, having made 42 appearances across all competitions last season.
However, the defender looks to have fallen down manager Diego Simeone's pecking order this term as he has been an unused sub in both LaLiga games this season.
