Nottingham Forest’s Gustavo Scarpa, currently on loan at Olympiacos, is inclined to remain with the Greek club for the remainder of the season, marking a shift in his previous unsettled tenure at Forest. Scarpa struggled to find his rhythm last season, with limited playing time contributing to his challenges.
The 29-year-old departed Forest in the summer and joined Olympiacos, where he has had a peripheral role in the 2023/24 campaign. Recent reports suggest that Scarpa, despite attracting interest from other clubs, is now determined to see out the season with Olympiacos. Colorado was reportedly eyeing Scarpa for a January move, but he seems to have made a decision about his immediate future.
Journalist Jorge Nicola shared this update on Canal do Nicola, highlighting Scarpa’s preference to stay with Olympiacos for the rest of the season. The recent appointment of Carlos Carvalhal at the Greek club is expected to enhance Scarpa’s impact.
Scarpa’s time at Forest was marked by challenges, making only 10 appearances without contributing any goals. While he received praise for his performance in a 2-0 victory over Leicester, consistency eluded him, leading to a loan move in the summer.
The focus for Scarpa in the second half of the season is earning a spot in Olympiacos’ starting lineup. If successful, Nottingham Forest stands to benefit financially from Scarpa’s improved market value, as the Brazilian looks to establish himself and contribute more significantly during his loan spell.
