Previously, Cunha contributed to Botafogo's success in the Club World Cup and scored in their first game against Seattle Sounders. Chief football officer Ross Wilson praised Cunha's talent and predicted a warm welcome for him. Meanwhile, Forest is dealing with the departure of Anthony Elanga to Newcastle and legal concerns over Morgan Gibbs-White's potential transfer to Tottenham, which complicates their transfer strategy.
Nottingham Forest has signed defender Jair Cunha from Botafogo on a five-year contract, marking his arrival after helping Botafogo to the last 16 of the Club World Cup.
Cunha's signing follows that of striker Igor Jesus, who also moved from Botafogo to Nottingham, as the club aims to improve on last season's seventh-place finish.
Ross Wilson, Forest's chief football officer, described Jair as a young talent with quality proven in Brazil, expressing confidence in his integration into the team.
Forest faces challenges in the transfer market with key players departing, including Anthony Elanga to Newcastle United, adding pressure to find replacements.
