Reports in Portugal are suggesting Nottingham Forest may be ready to release their outcast winger Lica.
A Bola report that he may be allowed to leave Forest on a free this summer, with Estoril keen to sign him.
Lica has been entirely ineffective at Forest. He played just seven times last season following his move from Porto and fans of the club were thoroughly disappointed in what they saw from an apparent Portuguese international.
The 28-year-old, who has one cap for the Portugal national team, was eventually sent out on loan to his former club Estoril in January, where he spent the best years of his career.

He is not believed to be in Mark Warburton’s plans for next season and a return to Estoril permanently is reportedly his favoured option.

He is contracted to Forest until next summer and his wages are currently a stumbling block to Estoril, who have a small budget, but releasing him would at least give them the sanctuary of not having to pay a transfer fee.
Lica’s last game for Forest was against Birmingham in mid-January and it is very likely he won’t feature again.
