The transfer rumour mill continues to turn for Nottingham Forest, with the latest reports linking the club to Middlesbrough striker David Strelec. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to eight possible arrivals and two potential exits. The hottest storyline right now concerns Arne Engels, but below is the latest news on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the club.
David Strelec
On Wednesday, it was reported that Middlesbrough's 25-year-old centre-forward, David Strelec, has attracted interest from clubs including Everton and Nottingham Forest. The Slovakia international, who has 38 caps and 10 goals for his country, has performed well in recent weeks. It is believed the interested teams could attempt to sign him if Boro do not achieve promotion. Strelec joined Middlesbrough in September 2025 on a contract that runs until June 2030.
Marshall Munetsi
Nottingham Forest has identified 29-year-old Zimbabwean international Marshall Munetsi as a target to strengthen its midfield, according to a report on Tuesday. Wolverhampton, the club that owns Munetsi, and Nottingham Forest are said to be close to a principle agreement, and Forest has started discussions with the player's representatives. It is also reported that Munetsi, who is currently on loan at Paris FC, has indicated a desire to stay with the French club.
Yassine Titraoui
Last Thursday, reports emerged that Yacine Titraoui, a 22-year-old Algerian international midfielder, is open to leaving Sporting de Charleroi this summer. Nottingham Forest is interested in the player and has reportedly made him a priority for the next transfer window. The Belgian club is said to be willing to sell Titraoui if a satisfactory offer is made, and according to exclusive sources from Africafoot, a price has been set. Other clubs, including Sunderland and Olympique de Marseille, are also monitoring the situation.
Elliot Anderson
The future of Elliot Anderson took a new turn on Monday, with The Daily Mail reporting that Manchester City's players believe they have succeeded in their pursuit of the 23-year-old. The report states the players believe he is destined to join the club in the summer, though no talks have been held over a transfer fee. It is reported that these talks will only happen after Nottingham Forest have secured their place in the Premier League. This follows reports from last Friday, when Sky Sports News stated that Manchester City is the club in the best position to sign Anderson, ahead of other major Premier League clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal.
Murillo
Manchester United is currently exploring two options for the centre-back position, one of whom is Nottingham Forest's Murillo, as of Tuesday. The report suggests Man Utd will only seek a new player if the fitness concerns regarding Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt persist.
Arne Engels
On Monday, it was reported that multiple European football clubs are interested in Arne Engels, including Nottingham Forest. During the January transfer window, Nottingham Forest made two late bids for Engels, which were rejected by Celtic. The offer was almost €30 million, and according to rumours, it is likely that a new bid will be submitted in the summer if Nottingham Forest secures survival this season.
Santiago Castro
Santiago Castro could be available for a transfer fee of €40 million despite signing a new contract in February, according to a Team Talk report on Monday. The same report states that West Ham United and Nottingham Forest are interested in the Bologna striker.
