Now Forest, the Toffees and the Serie A giants are all weighing up whether to join the hunt.
Relegated Ipswich want more for their biggest asset and hope to generate an auction for Hutchinson.
Brentford are tipped to return with an improved offer of £37.5m but are now likely to face even stiffer competition for the England Under-21 international.
Hutchinson, 21, did not travel to France for the Tractor Boys' friendly against Auxerre last weekend because of uncertainty about his future.

Boss Kieran McKenna said: 'Omari, with the speculation around his future at the moment, he didn't feel mentally in the right place to come for the game.
'It's a challenging situation for everyone. He's a player that we love and we support and we have empathy with, with the year that he's been through and this important moment in his career.
'We'll keep working and communicating on that situation as well and hopefully it'll be the best resolution for the club and for the player.'
The sale of Hutchinson would give McKenna huge funds to rebuild his squad as Ipswich bid to make an instant return to the Premier League.

Hutchinson put himself in the shop window for a big money move last season as one of the few bright sparks in Ipswich's relegation campaign.
He further proved his class and maturity with his performances in England U21's Euros-winning tournament.
He featured in all six of the young Lions' matches at the tournament, and scored the second goal in their 3-2 victory over Germany in the final.

Liverpool transfer news: Reds confirm Arsenal hijack as Alexander Isak message sent
Liverpool have made a real statement in the summer transfer window and the Reds could spend even more as Arne Slot continues to bolster his side ahead of a potential title defence Liverpool remain very keen to add even more new faces to their squad despite a hectic summer. The Reds have spent heavily as Arne Slot attempts to assemble a side capable of keeping hold of the Premier League title. Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike and Milos Kerkez are all among their headline arrivals. But there could be an even more expensive signing on the way before the end of the window. Liverpool remain interested in Alexander Isak despite having had a bid turned down for the Newcastle sensation. Whether they're able to get a deal over the line before the start of the season remains to be seen. While more signings are on the agenda, focus may soon turn to exits as Liverpool attempt to balance the books. Luis Diaz has already completed a move to Bayern Munich and he could potentially be followed out of the exit door by Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott. With all of that being said, take a look at all of the latest rumours coming out of the Red side of Anfield: Liverpool confirm striker deal Liverpool have confirmed they have beaten Arsenal to the signing of Salford City striker Will Wright despite the Gunners offering more. It was previously suggested that the North London side were at the front of the queue for his services having offered around £250k. A statement from the Reds read: 'Liverpool FC have completed the signing of Will Wright from Salford City. The 17-year-old striker joins the Reds in a permanent transfer having made his senior bow with Salford during the 2024-25 campaign. 'Wright debuted in November 2024 when he featured in an EFL Trophy tie against Wolverhampton Wanderers U21s, and then earlier this year he played once in the Emirates FA Cup and twice in League Two. 'He linked up with Rob Page's Liverpool U21s squad last week and made his first appearance on Saturday, featuring for the final half-hour of a goalless draw with Hull City at the Academy.' Shearer sends Isak message Alan Shearer has demanded Newcastle let Alexander Isak leave amid interest from Liverpool. He said: "I'm not angry at all towards him. I understand how football works. I know what happens in and around the game. I probably understand his mentality. "Do I like it? Do I understand it? Probably two different things, but I know what football is about and how it works. Obviously, Liverpool has been onto him and his agent. "I just thought it might have happened next year. But if it really is impossible for Eddie [Howe] to turn him around, you get your big money for him, you get other people in, hopefully before, and then you move on. "No individual is bigger than any football club, and if he doesn't want to be there, fine, get what you can and get him out and say, 'Thanks very much.'" Isak returns to Newcastle Speaking of Isak, the Swedish striker has now returned to Newcastle ahead of a reunion with his teammates. The forward was pictured driving into the club's training ground for treatment on an injury. He was the only player to arrive, with the squad having been given a break after flying back from their pre-season tour to Asia. Isak has been training in Spain, having decided not to link up with the side and instead train on his own in Spain.

Arsenal transfer news: Real Madrid star Rodrygo makes major call amid Liverpool hijack
Arsenal have had a very busy summer transfer window so far with Mikel Arteta welcoming a host of new faces to North London and it appears that some other big signings could be in the offing The 2025/26 Premier League season is drawing ever closer for Arsenal. There's now less than two weeks until the Gunners' opening game of the campaign against Manchester United at Old Trafford. It all means there's still plenty of work for Mikel Arteta to do to get his squad in the best position it can be. Two pre-season friendlies remain for the North London side to test themselves ahead of meeting the Red Devils against Spanish duo Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao. Those two games will give a host of new signings more chances to integrate, with ex-Chelsea man Noni Madueke finally expected to link up with his new teammates. Meanwhile, Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi and Cristhian Mosquera will all get the chance to step out at the Emirates Stadium for the first time. While Arsenal already have a host of new faces in situ, their work in the transfer market might not be quite finished yet. Arsenal remain keen on adding a new winger to their squad. And it appears that they already know the man they want. Take a look at all of the latest Arsenal transfer rumours: Rodrygo makes transfer decision Rodrygo looks set to stay with Real Madrid despite serious interest from the Premier League. Arsenal were previously linked with a move for the Brazilian wideman this summer, albeit there is competition from Liverpool and Tottenham. But it appears that Rodrygo wants to stay where he is. According to Spanish outlet AS, Rodrygo is now keen to stay at the Bernabeu and fight for his place under Xabi Alonso. Rodrygo believes he has enough quality to add to the existing options at the club. And that could potentially force Arsenal to look elsewhere for attacking recruits. Liverpool complete hijack While Liverpool were potentially looking to rival Arsenal for Rodrygo, the Reds have already beaten their Premier League rivals in the race for one player. The Reds have confirmed a deal for Salford City striker Will Wright despite the Gunners having agreed a deal for the teenager. It was previously reported that Arsenal offered around £250k for the youngster but he has instead opted to move to Anfield. Wright has already played for Liverpool's under-21 side after completing his switch to Anfield. Wonderkid rejects move French defender Jeremy Jacquet has turned down a move to Arsenal after an approach from the Gunners. It was suggested that the North London side had made an attempt to sign the 20-year-old. But Jacquet has rejected that opportunity according to Foot Mercato and his current club Rennes are now attempting to rebuff any further interest having offered the youngster a new deal until 2029.

Man Utd transfer news: Benjamin Sesko boost as Bruno Fernandes makes demand
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes wants to see more signings before the transfer window slams shut and RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko is their top target Manchester United are looking to bounce back this season after their worst ever Premier League finish. United finished 15th last season and failed to qualify for the Champions League after losing the Europa League final to Tottenham. They have already strengthened their squad with additions of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon, while Marcus Rashford has joined Barcelona on loan and Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof have been released. Plenty more incomings and outgoings are expected before the transfer window slams shut, with Ruben Amorim keen to ship out the likes of Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia. Sesko boost Manchester United have received a boost in their pursuit of Benjamin Sesko after it emerged that the striker's RB Leipzig team-mate Lois Openda will not be making the move to Sunderland. United and Newcastle are both interested in signing Sesko, who netted 21 goals in 45 games across all competitions last season. Fellow Leipzig striker Openda had been heavily linked with Sunderland and it is unlikely they would have let two forwards leave in the same window. However, Sky Sports are now reporting that Openda will not be joining Sunderland and that Leipzig are likely to sell Sesko instead. Fernandes' transfer demand Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has said the club need to add "more quality" in the transfer market this summer. "It's improving, but it's not where we want it to be," Fernandes said after United drew 2-2 with Everton in pre-season. "It's a game of football, there's always passion there. Whatever happens, happens. There was nothing spicy there, it's normal, it is part of the game. It's been positive [the US tour] and it's good to create a bond with the players. "We looked a bit lazy today and we need to change that. We needed more quality to get everyone to step up a bit more and to have more to do to get into the starting line-up. I think that's what the club and the manager are trying to do and hopefully we can get one or two players more to help with that." Shearer verdict Former Premier League striker Alan Shearer is confident that Benjamin Sesko will be a success if he joins Manchester United this summer. When asked if Sesko has the skill-set to thrive in England, Shearer told Amazon Prime: "I do, I think it's a matter of who can afford him. There is no doubt that this football club has a history of making an absolute fortune on transfers and this guy could be the next one to come into the Premier League. "Either foot - left or right - which is great to see. The work rate, the work off the ball, he's got all them things and he's got very good technique, good balance and I don't think there is a doubt in my mind that and he would look very comfortable in the Premier League. I do think he has a lot to learn, but he can learn no doubt."
