The latest transfer talk surrounding Nottingham Forest includes a new link with Fulham winger Harry Wilson. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 11 possible arrivals and 4 potential exits, and the items below represent the latest news on the most important transfer rumours. The hottest storyline right now, however, is about Youssef En-Nesyri.
Harry Wilson
On Sunday, it was reported that Nottingham Forest are monitoring the situation of 28-year-old Harry Wilson at Fulham, joining other interested clubs such as Everton, Leeds United, and Sunderland. The Welsh international's contract expires at the end of the campaign, meaning he could be available on a free transfer. This season in the Premier League, he has registered 4 goals and 6 assists in 7 appearances. While Fulham hope to extend his stay, sources have revealed the winger is keen to move back to the north of England. According to Transfermarkt, Wilson has a market value of €20.00m.
Jorge de Frutos
Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace, and Bournemouth are among several Premier League clubs interested in Rayo Vallecano's 28-year-old Spanish winger, Jorge de Frutos, according to a Sunday report. The player has also been proposed to Beşiktaş, which is monitoring him as an option for the mid-season transfer window. De Frutos, who is under contract until June 2028, has scored six goals in 17 LaLiga appearances this season. It was reported that Rayo Vallecano rejected a bid of €12 million for the player in August 2025.
Lorenzo Lucca
Fabrizio Romano reported on Sunday that Nottingham Forest is in negotiations with Napoli for Lorenzo Lucca on a paid loan with an option to buy, with the deal reportedly close to being finalized. Lucca could leave Napoli after just six months, having failed to secure a place in Antonio Conte's plans. On Friday, A Bola had reported that Lucca was evaluating various transfer alternatives, but the most interesting ones, identified as Nottingham Forest or other Italian clubs, had not materialized. Last Sunday, Tuttomercato noted that Benfica maintained its interest, but talks were complex due to competition, primarily from Nottingham Forest.
Elliot Anderson
On Sunday, 'Teamtalk' reported that Bayern Munich is one of the clubs interested in Elliot Anderson and that the price for the English international is between 92 and over 115 million euros. Nottingham Forest has an advantage as Anderson is under contract until 2029. According to 'Teamtalk', it is not excluded that his price could rise further after the World Cup. A report from Monday stated that Manchester City and Manchester United were in a potential competition for the midfielder, with Chelsea also in contention. According to sources, Manchester City have already initiated contact with Anderson's representatives regarding a potential summer transfer.
Murillo
According to multiple reports from Friday, Manchester United have identified Nottingham Forest defender Murillo as a top target. Team Talk reported that INEOS are planning a £70m move for the centre-half as a replacement for Harry Maguire and that Murillo is ready to pursue a bigger challenge away from Forest this summer. Another report stated that Forest are seeking to receive at least £70 million for the Brazilian, who is said to be open to leaving the City Ground. The Daily Mail added that United scouts have monitored Murillo extensively and believe he has the profile needed to improve their back line.
Josh Sargent
Nottingham Forest is interested in Josh Sargent, according to The Telegraph on Friday. The report stated that Sargent is set to become the successor at the Tricky Trees for Arnaud Kalimuendo, who has transferred to Eintracht Frankfurt. Coach Philippe Clément confirmed Sargent sent him a message saying he would not be available due to transfer matters. Also on Friday, Mike McGrath reported via X that Forest have shortlisted the Norwich City forward for a potential January switch, adding that the American recently refused to play in an FA Cup match as he seeks a move away.
Mehdi Taremi
Mehdi Taremi continues to be a target for Nottingham Forest, whose interest in the player has not diminished, according to a report on Saturday. Significant developments are expected following the European match between Olympiacos and Ajax on 28/1. Forest is looking for an experienced striker and considers Taremi an ideal solution. On Tuesday, The Athletic reported that the 33-year-old is the top target for the club's attacking reinforcement. The shared ownership between Olympiacos and Forest could make a potential deal relatively straightforward.
