Nottingham Forest has signed goalkeeper Carlos Miguel from Corinthians, putting Matt Turner’s future with the club into further doubt.
Miguel, 25, has signed a four-year deal with the Premier League club after building a reputation as one of the top goalkeepers in Brazil.
The 6-foot-8 goalkeeper’s arrival creates a logjam at the position, with Forest likely to offload at least one player before the season begins.

Turner may be one of those players sold, with the U.S. national team starter now seemingly in a fight just to retain his position as a backup.
The 30-year-old joined Forest last summer in a £10 million move from Arsenal. After a promising start to his time at the City Ground, Turner would eventually lose his starting position due to a series of high-profile errors.
Forest signed Matz Sels from Strasbourg in February, relegating Turner to a spot on the bench for the remainder of the Premier League season.
After he was benched a second time, Turner admitted that he may ultimately have to “move backwards” if things didn’t work out for him at Forest.
Recent reports have indicated that Forest is willing to listen to offers for Turner, as well as fellow goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos.
