Nottingham Forest are stepping up their interest in Marshall Munetsi ahead of the summer transfer window, but the midfielder’s future is becoming increasingly complicated.

The Zimbabwe international, still owned by Wolverhampton Wanderers, is currently on loan at Paris FC and has impressed enough in France to create a three-club battle over his next move.

Reports suggest Forest boss Vítor Pereira wants a reunion with the midfielder but Paris FC are not convinced Wolves’ current approach is straightforward.

VĂ­tor Pereira wants Munetsi reunion at Nottingham Forest

Pereira was the manager who brought Munetsi to Wolves after his move from Stade de Reims in February 2025.

Now at Nottingham Forest, the Portuguese coach is understood to be pushing hard for the 29-year-old’s arrival at the City Ground.

That relationship matters.

Managers often revisit trusted players when rebuilding squads, and Munetsi’s physical profile, midfield energy and tactical discipline fit Pereira’s style.

Forest are believed to have already made progress in discussions.

However, there is another complication.

Key insights

  • Nottingham Forest want Marshall Munetsi this summer
  • VĂ­tor Pereira wants to reunite with the midfielder
  • Paris FC want to keep him permanently
  • Wolves are accused of using transfer talks as leverage
  • Munetsi remains under contract until 2028

What’s next?

Forest are expected to continue discussions with Wolves as they build for next season, while Paris FC may need to move quickly if they want to formalise their interest.

The key factor could be Munetsi himself. If he pushes to remain in France, Wolves may have to weigh financial return against player preference.

For now, the transfer battle remains open.

Should Munetsi return to the Premier League — or stay where his form has improved most?
