FULHAM is set to demand a substantial £10 million if Nottingham Forest intends to appoint Marco Silva as their next manager, as the Cottagers are hesitant to let him go mid-season.
According to SunSport, Forest has compiled a list of candidates, including Sean Dyche, as they aim to replace Ange Postecoglou, who was dismissed following a disappointing run.

Silva, 48, is highly regarded by Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, who worked alongside the Portuguese coach during a championship-winning period at Olympiacos in 2016.
The manager has transformed the West London club into a solid mid-table Premier League team and is currently in his fifth season at Craven Cottage.
However, Forest would need to pay approximately £10 million in compensation, as reported by the Independent , and even then, Silva is believed to be hesitant about leaving mid-season.
Sean Dyche, who is currently unemployed, is also interested in the position.
The former manager is a lifelong Forest supporter and has expressed in the past that managing at the City Ground would be a dream opportunity.
Nonetheless, he is reluctant to accept a short-term contract, which is all that Forest is prepared to offer unless a suitable long-term candidate emerges.
Mancini, who led Italy to victory in Euro 2020, is also under consideration but would demand a considerable salary.
The 59-year-old left his position with the Saudi Arabia national team last year and has not been in management since.

Postecoglou managed eight games during his brief tenure, drawing two and losing six, including a 3-2 loss against .
Forest is eager to act swiftly, but this time they want to ensure they make the right choice.
