Nottingham Forest is currently negotiating the potential permanent transfer of Arnaud Kalimuendo to Eintracht Frankfurt. The French attacker, who scored six goals and provided one assist during his loan spell at Frankfurt in the 2025/26 Bundesliga season, has expressed a desire to join the club on a long-term basis. Reports indicate that Frankfurt is keen on securing Kalimuendo's services but is hesitant to meet the previously agreed purchase option of €27 million. Instead, they value the player at around €20 million, which has led to ongoing discussions between the two clubs. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, is holding out for a fee closer to €25 million. With the expected departures of Elye Wahi and Noel Futkeu, the club may look to reinvest some of the incoming transfer fees into securing Kalimuendo's permanent signing. The situation remains fluid as both clubs work towards a resolution that satisfies their respective financial expectations.
