20M.
Got to say I'd take that.
He's good and I like him, but he's not worth £20m, nor the £13m (or whatever it was) that we paid.

£20 million? Take it. That could get Forest the 5-6 players they need to finish building the team for this season.
Add it to the Brereton money and it's good business.
Thanks for the info' SnifferDog.
Car' would probably do well in the Premier...in good company and can be incubated regarding his development where we want the finished article if the club are expecting top two.

The source of that rumour seems to be someone on Twitter called Peter a.k.a @footballagent72... who has 182 followers, in other words a very, very strong chance of being complete b*****ks.

If someone on Twitter says they're a football agent, they're not a football agent.

I’m sure Sniffer has got this from somewhere more reputable?

I was told here in Greece by a friend of mine who works for Gazzetta.

Benfica have a decent size sell on clause.

Intrigue.
One to watch as it develops, perhaps.
If Forest paid £13 million for him...getting £20 million would be a handsome return for 'only' having the player for 6 months.
If that's how the club are going to do business from now on, it augers well for the running of and the revenue of the club in future.
To have their own 'chief scout' who can make these kind of deals, develop the player and sell them on...might be why the whispers of a 'Sporting Director' are coming from.
This is a potential area of growth for Forest (i.e. being run as a business rather than the historic 'corner shop.'

It would certainly be a change of approach from the club. In the past the selling of our best players has been because the club (or owner) needed the cash.
If Cav is sold for 20m and then that reinvested in the squad then its a progressive strategy.
Of course, the replacements have to be decent otherwise it quickly becomes regressive!

I would snap a clubs hands off for 20 mill

Sell Carv, buy Dack, pocket the balance.
RE: Joao Carvalho - PsychoStooge - 07-01-2019
I can't see us selling if the rumour is true. Only way it makes sense to me is if the club needs funds for a new manager to reshape the team and that manager is one who doesn't use a traditional number 10 a la Jokanovic.
