Report:26-year-old forest midfielder has completed a £25million deal with Lyon
Nottingham Forest agree Orel Mangala deal as fee revealed
Orel Mangala is about to finalize his £25 million transfer from Nottingham Forest to Lyon,
Football Insider has been informed by sources.
Mangala, 26, played a significant role for Forest in the first half of the previous season, but he first signed a loan-to-
buy agreement with the French team during the January transfer window.
With the two clubs having already agreed on a deal and payment schedule for the midfield player,
the move is now expected to become permanent.
In an effort to prevent further expenditure violations, the Nottingham club will list the transaction in its financial
year-ending June 30 statements.
However, when the Belgium international made the first loan swap, Forest had already built the deal into their
estimates for the year because it was expected that the transfer would happen once details were worked out.
Orel Mangala is expected to leave Nottingham Forest when a deal is reached.
Mangala joined the Forest starting lineup on a regular basis in 2022 after moving from Stuttgart for £12.7 million.
Although the midfielder started 21 of his 22 games at the City Ground in the first half of the season, the Premier
League team chose to approve a loan move to Lyon in January.
The Ligue 1 team is almost done with a permanent contract for the Belgian as Forest tries to allay worries about
sustainability and profit.
Football Insider disclosed last month that in order to avoid receiving yet another point deduction,
the Nottingham club will have to sell players before the end of June.
It is thought that Forest will potentially violate the financial regulations once more this season,
since Nuno Espirito Santo‘s team will need to generate approximately £30 million in revenue via player sales in the
upcoming weeks.
