Recent reports suggest that Stade Rennais and Nottingham Forest have reached a verbal agreement for the transfer of forward Arnaud Kalimuendo for a fee of €30 million. This potential move follows interest from several other clubs, including Leeds United and Brentford FC, which reportedly had their own bids for the talented French player rejected.
Kalimuendo, who is currently under contract with Rennes until 2027, has been a key player for the team. In the past season, the 23-year-old scored 17 goals and provided 3 assists in Ligue 1. His career stats boast an impressive 101 goals and 25 assists in 221 total appearances. A move to the Premier League would mark a significant new chapter for the France U21 international.
This transfer, if confirmed, would represent a major acquisition for Nottingham Forest and a substantial profit for Stade Rennais. The deal is expected to be finalized soon, pending a medical and the finalization of personal terms.
