Nevertheless, the newspaper adds that defender Michael Mancienne, winger Barrie McKay and striker Daryl Murphy are free to leave to help raise further resources.

Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony teased some Nottingham Forest fans with a tweet about Marriott’s future on Wednesday.

And according to the Sun, the 23-year-old is valued at £6.5 million by Posh after a 33-goal season.

Dean Marney of Burnley signs autographs as he arrives at the stadium prior to the Premier League match between Burnley and Liverpool at Turf Moor on January 1, 2018 in Burnley, England.

The Daily Mirror lists Dean Marney as another Karanka target, although the former Burnley midfielder is available on a free transfer.

Macnienne, who could be pushed down the pecking order by Michael Dawson’s return to Forest, has spent the past four seasons at the City Ground, whereas McKay and Murphy arrived last summer.
