Nottingham Forest are soaring in the Premier League this season, with Champions League qualification becoming a realistic prospect for next year.
Their 1-0 victory over Manchester City on Saturday has put them four points ahead of the reigning champions, with Callum Hudson-Odoi receiving praise from Michael Owen for his match-winning goal.
While Forest must remain grounded, Nuno Espirito Santo is on the verge of accomplishing something truly remarkable this season.
After a highly successful campaign, Forest may face the challenge of resisting offers for their key players in the summer.
Murillo has already been linked with Premier League clubs, but his new contract will allow Forest to demand a significant transfer fee.
Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are reportedly now interested in Morgan Gibbs-White.
According to Caught Offside, Forest are preparing for offers for Gibbs-White this summer, as several top clubs are eager to secure his services. Tottenham and Manchester City are also in the race, and Forest may have to sell one star player to meet the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules.
However, there appear to be issues with this report, as it suggests Forest would consider a £50 million offer for Gibbs-White. Given that Wolves received a £42.5 million fee for him after add-ons, it seems unlikely that Forest would entertain a deal offering just £8 million in profit.
Forest are keen for Gibbs-White to sign a new contract, and with 40 goal contributions in a Forest shirt, it seems improbable that they would accept such an offer.

Key Passes: 38
WhoScored Rating: 7.06
Stuart Pearce called Gibbs-White “fantastic” at the start of last season, and he has been key in establishing Forest as a strong Premier League side.
Selling Gibbs-White for the amount mentioned would make little sense. In our view, any club looking to acquire him will need to offer upwards of £70 million, given his current form for Forest.
Hopefully, Forest can fend off interest from other Premier League clubs, as the ongoing attention highlights just how well they are performing this season.
