Nottingham Forest are weighing up a potential reunion between manager Vitor Pereira and Wolverhampton Wanderers playmaker Marshall Munetsi, according to reports. The City Ground could see major activity this summer, irrespective of whether the club secures Premier League survival or suffers relegation to the Championship. Departures and arrivals are anticipated regardless of which division they occupy. As part of planning for the upcoming squad overhaul, Forest have reportedly pinpointed Munetsi, currently on loan from Wolves, as a potential acquisition. The Zimbabwe international, aged 29, is featuring for Paris FC during the second half of the campaign but his long-term situation remains uncertain beyond June. French media outlets have indicated that Munetsi has attracted Forest’s interest, with the club allegedly looking to secure his signature when the transfer market reopens. Sources close to French outlet Foot Mercato state that conversations have occurred regarding a possible move to the City Ground. The player himself is said to favour remaining in the French capital when determining his next destination. However, no discussions have yet transpired with his temporary club. After joining Molineux from Reims in February 2025, Munetsi holds a contract in the West Midlands running until 2028. During his time in the French capital, he has featured 13 times, including nine from the start, and found the net four times in Ligue 1. Pereira is already well-acquainted with the midfielder from his spell managing Wolves. During that time, the Portuguese coach previously offered his assessment of Munetsi, describing him as relentless and tireless, noting he knows what he can expect from the player and considering him very honest. Central midfield represents a position Forest are expected to examine closely during the close season. England international Elliot Anderson is anticipated to attract significant interest from other clubs, which would almost certainly leave the club requiring a replacement in that department. For the time being, though, the priority remains ensuring top-flight survival. Pereira’s squad sits five points above the relegation zone with four matches still to play. The team continues to juggle their battle to stay up with their pursuit of continental success. On Thursday evening, they welcome Premier League opponents Aston Villa to the City Ground for the opening leg of their Europa League semi-final encounter.
