Roma, Wolverhampton and Nottingham Forest sent an offer each on Sunday, but their proposals, all below €30m, were rejected by Palmeiras.

Wolves offered €25m and Forest’s bid was set just a bit higher at €26m.

Palmeiras, however, have set Rios’ price tag at €30m as a fixed fee plus add-ons.

Roma had promised a €25m offer plus €5m add-ons, but still not enough to match Palmeiras’ demands.
