However, financial constraints could hinder a permanent move for Ugbo, prompting Wednesday to consider Kaba, who has Championship experience from his spell with Cardiff in the 2022/23 season and is now available for transfer after just one season with Las Palmas.

Liverpool’s interest in Nottingham Forest’s Murillo for a potential summer transfer has hit a snag due to a significant increase in his valuation. Initially valued at around £50 million, recent reports from the Athletic suggest that Murillo’s worth has surged to at least £70 million. This sharp rise in valuation is likely to deter Liverpool, who are in the market for a center-back signing but may find Murillo financially out of reach. Despite his evident potential, Forest’s financial constraints and the uncertain aftermath of their unsuccessful points appeal may necessitate player sales, further complicating Murillo’s future.
