Fofana is off to Forest so can rule him out as a summer signing.
01 Jul 2025 17:54:59
Really? What or who is the source? I haven’t heard anything from Forest.
01 Jul 2025 18:07:49
Forest have agreed a price with the club, agreeing with the player is another matter. Looks like Forest are trying to get in ahead of all the big boys. Really hope we have an interest in this kid.
01 Jul 2025 18:17:58
Forest have had an offer accepted but don't have an agreement with the player yet - he is apparently waiting for a CL club to come in for him.
So not ruling him out yet.
01 Jul 2025 18:22:58
BTW, has been reported by Romano which means someone else reported an hour or so earlier!
01 Jul 2025 18:34:57
Deal agreed between clubs BUT he's holding out for a CL club. I really believe that it'll be a missed opportunity if we don't get him. What say you Ed001?
{Ed001's Note - I would go and get him if it was up to me.}
01 Jul 2025 18:57:08
Anyone got any idea what the agreed fee with Forrest is? Be interesting to know.
01 Jul 2025 19:10:57
Bulk, I thought the same. Google seems to suggest that it's €35m which Lyon have accepted.
To me (not having €35m to hand! ) it seems an absolute no brainer given his age and potential. Not that far off what we are asking for Doak.

Ed01, you know we ain't getting players you really want, right? But hey if kidnapping Fofana is what you're willing to do then, I'll man the getaway car.
{Ed001's Note - sounds like a plan.}
01 Jul 2025 20:02:59
We'd be like a live version of The Ant Hill Mob doing the kidnapping ?.
01 Jul 2025 20:07:47
I'd be all over it at €35M.

Forest must have some indication from Fofana's camp that he would agree terms there, otherwise why go this far with the club to agree a transfer.

Reading between the clickbait lines, Faith, I reckon Fofana would prefer a CL team but if none have an acceptable bid then Forest want to be next in line.
