"Marinakis has returned his interest to Silva, whose buyout clause has been reported to be as high as 15m (13m). Forest recognise it would cost to extract Silva from his contract at Craven Cottage, which expires at the end of the season. Forest are mindful of financial restrictions, having sacked two managers this season and furnished the squad at a cost of about 200m this summer."
"But Marinakis is a longstanding admirer of Silva having appointed him at Olympiakos, where the Portuguese won the Greek Super League in 2015-16. Crucially, Silva is thought to be interested in the Forest job, with the club among the favourites to win the Europa League at the outset. The 48-year-old has been at Fulham since 2021 and in England has also managed Everton, Watford and Hull."
"Silva was linked with a Saudi Arabian move in the summer of 2023, only to sign a three-year deal keeping him at Craven Cottage until 2026. The summer just gone saw unrest as Fulham were slow in the transfer market, only the Brazilian forward Kevin arriving as a permanent outfield signing, with two loans in Samuel Chukwueze from Milan and Jonah Kusi-Asare, a teenager from Bayern Munich who is yet to make a first-team appearance."
Evangelos Marinakis has identified Marco Silva as his primary target to succeed Ange Postecoglou at Nottingham Forest after Postecoglou was sacked following a 3-0 defeat by Chelsea. Sean Dyche and Roberto Mancini have also been considered. Silva has a buyout clause reported up to £15m and a Fulham contract running until the end of the season, which would require payment to secure him. Forest face financial restrictions after dismissing two managers and spending around £200m on the squad this summer. Silva previously won the Greek Super League with Olympiakos and has managed several English clubs since 2021.
