Barcelona sporting department highly rate Nottingham Forest player

Nottingham Forest defender Jair Cunha is highly regarded by Barcelona's sporting department, according to Spanish outlet Sport. The 21-year-old center-back has quickly raised his profile since arriving at the City Ground from Botafogo last year, earning a place on Barcelona's monitoring radar. However, the report states there is currently no indication that the Catalan club is preparing a formal bid or transfer move for the player.

Alongside the interest from Barcelona, the report highlights Cunha's rapid rise on the international stage with Brazil. Following his latest call-up under manager Carlo Ancelotti, Cunha is reportedly considered Brazil's third-choice center-back, positioned directly behind Marquinhos and Arsenal's Gabriel Magalhães in the national team's defensive hierarchy.
