Nottingham Forest are being linked with a few more players as the month of January progresses.
However, it appears that the club may undertake more outgoing business this month, emphasizing exits over any new signings.
Taiwo Awoniyi is the latest player to be connected away from Forest. West Ham are interested in him, and some sources suggest that the Reds may contemplate letting him go.
Forest have called on Harry Toffolo. He appears to be staying at the City Ground as a backup to the present side, which is currently third in the Premier League.
Evangelos Marinakis is taking the lead on one January incident.
Forest has offered Murillo a new deal. The revelation came as a surprise, given that he still has a few years left on his current contract and other players may be a higher priority.
According to The Telegraph, Marinakis is now leading the charge against Murillo. He is keen to sign his defender to a new deal in order to reward him for his excellent performance.
Murillo almost signed with Manchester City before Forest came knocking. He has been nearly ever-present in the Premier League since signing from Corinthians and is improving with each game.
According to reports, Liverpool is interested in signing Murillo. That’s hardly surprising given that the defender made an incredible 17 clearances against the Liverpool giants on Tuesday night.
The Champions League might entice Murillo to stay with Forest.
Fans should be wary of Murillo’s new deal. The extension will retain his value, but it will also result in him receiving a contract that Forest believes he deserves.
Given how this season has gone, more top players may decide to push for an extension. Morgan Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Anthony Elanga may also ask for better terms.
Murillo may only stay at Forest if Champions League football is confirmed. He understands that he will play on a regular basis at the City Ground, which is critical at this stage of his career.
Hopefully, with Marinakis taking the lead, this one will be completed shortly. Murillo is critical to the Forest squad, and the club must ultimately take care of its key players.
