Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is known for his sharp business instincts when it comes to running football clubs.
He currently owns Forest, Olympiacos, and Rio Ave, but he’s not content with just these three clubs—his ambitions are far from over.
Marinakis has been vocal about his criticism of VAR this season and is never shy to speak his mind.
He has shown interest in bringing Edu to Forest, as well as his other clubs, to continue the excellent work and reputation built at Arsenal.
Recently, he also appointed Lina Souloukou at the City Ground, underscoring his desire for progress off the pitch.
Marinakis’ latest target is Brazilian club Vasco da Gama. According to News Colina, the Reds’ owner has received a boost in his pursuit, with former Leeds executive Andrea Radrizzani no longer in the running for the club. This puts Marinakis in a strong position, possibly signaling that a deal is on the horizon.
Forest has developed a strong reputation for bringing in South American talent, with players like Murillo and Danilo making an impact in the Premier League.
Marinakis’ interest in Vasco da Gama makes sense, as he looks to uncover more Brazilian gems, even though players like Gustavo Scarpa and Carlos Miguel have not had the same success.
It will be intriguing to see how this potential acquisition of Vasco da Gama impacts Forest, and with Radrizzani out of the picture, things could progress quickly.
