Wolves are currently facing a defensive crisis, with Yerson Mosquera likely out for the season due to injury. With just three senior center-backs available until January, the team has struggled at the back, conceding the joint-most goals in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest has seen success with a strong defensive record, with just four goals conceded in five games. This success can be partly attributed to the strong performances of former Wolves transfer targets Murillo and Milenkovic, who now play for Forest.
Murillo, who Wolves failed to sign from Corinthians, has been impressing at Forest, while Milenkovic, who was also a target a few years ago, has been a standout in their backline. Both players could have potentially made a difference for Wolves, especially after the sales of Kilman and Neto.
It is frustrating for Wolves to see these two players thriving at Forest under Nuno, especially considering their past interest in them. Had the club been able to secure their signings, it could have potentially strengthened their defense and improved their current struggles in the league.
