Nuno Espírito Santo (Nottingham Forest)
June 2025
Nottingham Forest have extended manager Nuno Espírito Santo’s contract until 2028 after guiding the club to seventh place in the Premier League and securing European football for the first time since 1995–96.
Despite narrowly missing out on Champions League qualification after a late-season dip, Forest’s highest league finish in 30 years and an FA Cup semifinal earned Nuno full backing from owner Evangelos Marinakis for long-term continuity.
Willy Boly (Nottingham Forest)

Nottingham Forest have confirmed a one-year contract extension for 34-year-old defender Willy Boly, who joined from Wolves in 2022.

Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace)
Summer 2025 Transfer Window
Mateta’s 13-goal season has caught the attention of multiple clubs, with Manchester United and Nottingham Forest joining the race. The French striker has become a consistent performer and is seen as a proven Premier League goal threat.
United and Forest are expected to compete with Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Atlético Madrid. Palace will likely field offers amid rising interest, and the forward’s strong form may spark a high-stakes bidding war this summer.
Luis Henrique (Marseille)

Marseille winger Luis Henrique is attracting transfer interest from Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Bayer Leverkusen, Newcastle United, and Nottingham Forest ahead of the summer window.
The 23-year-old Brazilian’s impressive pace and versatility have made him a hot prospect across Europe, with Inter preparing an initial approach and Marseille expected to demand over €30 million for a deal.
