Nottingham Forest rumours 2

02 Jan 2026 13:48:54
Kali has left on loan!
That leaves Jesus and Awonyi?
Hmmmmm ?.

02 Jan 2026 14:01:36
See below.

02 Jan 2026 14:03:29
Nottingham Forest have agreed a deal with Eintracht Frankfurt for striker Arnaud Kalimuendo to leave the club just months after he joined, according to Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.

02 Jan 2026 14:43:53
Sean Dyche seems to take against certain player's and doesn't give em a far chance, did the same to O'Brien at Everton. If Kalimuendo has left can only think someone's lined up to come to us.

02 Jan 2026 20:43:00
Rumour has it that Kalimuendo was not a great trainer which, on 40 grand a week, would get up my nose as well Mossy! ☹️.

02 Jan 2026 21:58:05
The problem is Stokey, John Robertson wasn't great at training, the great players usually had an adversion to it, mentioned a few in a previous post, not saying Kalimuendo would be anywhere near there greatness, but Sean Dyches mantra is a player has to do the "Hard Yards" yet the team looked shattered against Everton.

03 Jan 2026 11:38:45
Kalimuendo on the bench today, seems he can be in two places at once??.

07 Jan 2026 18:55:30
Clough was a one off and allowed players to have a cigarette at half time let the go out on the pi55 so long as they performed when needed so Robbo was also a one off over weight and unfit but his performance on the pitch didn't suffer.

07 Jan 2026 20:20:18
Fair enough but Kalimuendo is no John Robertson. He was in a League of his own mate!

02 Jan 2026 09:53:05
RUMOUR: Eds, is this likely to be possible?

This is a big one.

Consequently, the manager could be left a little light on options at striker, meaning he may need to bring in a new option, and Nottingham Forest have now made contact over a deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers star Jorgen Strand Larsen.

Strand Larsen is now deemed likely to exit Molineux this month, given that the Old Gold are almost certainly going to be relegated from the Premier League, and Forest have now lodged an initial enquiry.

A deal could be on the expensive side, however, with it being revealed Wolves are planning to hold out for a fee of £40m, and forking out the full asking price would make the Norwegian the most expensive signing in Nottingham Forest's history.

Expect a loan with obligation to buy so no big initial fee is needed.

Will this happen if we don't let one name go? It might be with a loan then buy option.

{Ed001's Note - he is keen to leave Wolves, he is still unhappy about a move to Newcastle breaking down. The two parties are looking now to move him on, as Wolves have realised keeping an unhappy player was a mistake.

Echoes of Gibbs-White perhaps?}

02 Jan 2026 10:40:50
We are desperate for goals right now. MArinakis should be on the phone now (when he's finished lining up Brendan Rogers to take over when Dyche loses to Villa and Nuno's West Ham).

02 Jan 2026 12:04:35
I think Rogers has taken a job in Saudi?, Mendes is having a big say in purchasing players it seems at West Ham, is Mendes Larsen's agent, not checked, but read they was interested in him.

02 Jan 2026 13:58:57
If Kalimuendo is really off to Frankfurt, we must be lining up a striker.

02 Jan 2026 19:01:56
What's the fetish with Rogers cyclist?
He's not available anyway, so makes no difference.

31 Dec 2025 14:30:33
Think we need to accept that Chris Wood is not going to play for us again we need a big strong number 9 I’ve mentioned Sam Surridge and think Evan Ferguson could be a player given his chance.

31 Dec 2025 16:10:54
Posted on 15th Dec about trying for Evan Ferguson, mind I also posted McAtee might improve, but maybe Leeds problem come January?.

06 Jan 2026 19:36:15
Sam Surridge he's a championship player no?!

31 Dec 2025 12:47:33
RUMOUR ROUND UP:

According to the information of Manchester City insider ‘Tolmie’s Hairdoo’ on X, the Etihad Stadium club remain confident that they can secure Nottingham Forest and England international midfielder Elliot Anderson – and are in no rush ahead of the summer.

According to La Repubblica, Milan have placed the out-of-favour Morato on a shortlist of defensive targets for the January transfer window.

Nottingham Forest have identified Brighton's 20-year-old English midfielder Jack Hinshelwood among a number of possible January transfer targets. He is a DM or RB and England U21 international. Right profile for Forest but listed as £24M on Transfermrkt.

31 Dec 2025 14:36:01
Oh, Hinshelwood is listed as €24M so about £21M.

29 Dec 2025 11:33:16
RUMOURS:

Nottingham Forest’s Arnaud Kalimuendo has ‘suddenly’ emerged as a target for Eintracht Frankfurt in the winter market. Bild state the Bundesliga side are now optimistic they can secure the 23-year-old’ services in January. This could likely be related to his situation with Sean Dyche’s side.

If Dych prefers Awoniyi, he's nuts. But if he does and Wood is out, we need to bring in a striker so maybe Kali needs minutes and we need cover so.

Josh Mulligan (RB, CM) : Capable of playing either right-back or central midfield, Mulligan has emerged as a key performer for David Gray’s side. Leeds United and Nottingham Forest have been mentioned as two Premier League suitors but now Celtic are looking to get in on the action.

11 clubs are looking at McAtee including Chelsea.

29 Dec 2025 13:59:59
If we can get our money back on McAtee the worlds officially gone mad??.

29 Dec 2025 22:35:51
I will come up from Essex and drop him off if we can get are money back ?.

26 Dec 2025 13:45:16
RUMOUR:

Breno Bidon has been a regular for Corinthians over the past few seasons, despite his young age. The 20-year-old is now attracting interest from Nottingham Forest, and Manchester United links.

The midfielder played over 50 times in the 2025 campaign. He also started in the Copa do Brasil final at the weekend, helping Corinthians beat Vasco da Gama over two legs. He is quite a versatile player who can play deep in midfield but also in the wide areas.

€20M fee.

16 Dec 2025 21:55:28
Looking like spurs will listen to offers for jonno?
Love to have him back.

17 Dec 2025 09:07:48
We wouldn't have to drop anyone out of the squad if we sign him as he counts as a home grown at your own club player.

17 Dec 2025 10:52:36
I’d have Johnno back. Depends on how young Bakwa shapes up when he gets a proper chance. Especially with Ndoye out of form. First choice wingers are CHO and Hutch so Johnno will have to wait his chance.
The only problem I can see is that Johnson Senior would have to invest in a new scarf ?! ?.

17 Dec 2025 12:11:56
Just shows, the first team who bid for Johnson was Brentford, not necessarily wanted by Frank?, yes I'd have him back, still young but know has Premier league and European experience.

17 Dec 2025 13:43:07
Would be a great fit for our side, has got goals in him, would be welcomed back into the club with a far stronger squad than he left. Must admit the last couple of games young Hutchinson has impressed me, not only with offensive work but tracking back also. Also Elanga struggling to impress, he will be the next one muted for a move.

18 Dec 2025 14:15:44
The Spurs fans I've spoke to don't like jonno at all. Even though he was their top league goal scorer last season. From the wing. I don't understand football fans sometimes.

18 Dec 2025 19:12:29
My thoughts are that he's learned his trade as a winger, I niw believe both he and CHO could play as deep strikers and use their pace through the middle, like I say would love to have him back
Ndoye I think we would get our money back as a lot of italyeamz would be interested
To me sell ndoye and get jonno back.

18 Dec 2025 19:12:44
I think Spurs will want to make a profit on him and he cost them £48 million odd. So it will upwards of 50. I'd look elsewhere.

19 Dec 2025 09:55:06
I’m not so sure after his spell at Spurs his value has gone down rather than up. If he’s not getting games he will want out. Would be a great player in our squad, would get more game time at Forest.

Rotating CHO, Hutchinson and Johnson would give us real options. Dan Ndoye has struggled, made a bright start but has for some reason not established himself.

19 Dec 2025 10:25:18
Ravers, I don’t think they’ll get their £48m back on Johnno mate. They’ll be lucky to get half that back. Could be a good loan deal with option to buy for us in January?

19 Dec 2025 18:54:06
I'd go with that Stokey. Hopefully, he has realised that 'the grass isn't always greener on the other side'. I reckon his heart is still with Forest.

19 Dec 2025 20:22:17
He could be open for a return, he not going be first choice at spurs with Kudus there. The squad forest have got now is better than when he left. Reckon a bid of 35m would be enough for Spurs to think about it. Reckon villa will make a move though.

20 Dec 2025 16:32:20
I know think Elanga will come back to us, and Anderson will return to Newcastle, and we get about 50 million profit!. I think Elanga made a mistake and Anderson would love to return home, unfortunately it means Johnson ends up at Palace or Bournemouth ?.

20 Dec 2025 22:42:31
Never understood why Eddie howe so desperately wanted elanga?
He had Murphy, Gordon, and Harvey Barnes already and has now made him 4th choice
Ruining his career but has a nice wage coming in.

22 Dec 2025 17:13:12
If Anderson does leave, I don't think it will be for Newcastle.
I think his ambitions are much higher that them.
Liverpool, Man City or Real Madrid is his destination imo.

{Ed001's Note - I hope you are right with your first suggestion! Fantastic player who would improve pretty much any team in the world.}

22 Dec 2025 19:22:48
If Ando goes i can see it being to Arsenal, he would suit their system and style. ?.

10 Dec 2025 20:01:32
Samu Aghehowa is a player heavily linked with the club, a 6ft 4in striker with immense strength and composure bagging 3 goals of 4 games for Porto the 21 year old is a strong candidate for that Dyche style of play.

10 Dec 2025 23:36:45
Just seen West Ham are interested in Rio Avenues Clayton Fernandes Silva, may be worth scuppering that deal and try to get him ourselves seeing as Marinakis owns the club we should have a chance, so long as Mendes isn't his agent!.

12 Dec 2025 15:48:04
Samu is a fantastic prospect who will go to one of Europe's big clubs unfortunately. Most likely a huge fee also, think he has a buyout in the range of €90 mill. Already a full Spain International. ?.

13 Dec 2025 14:42:40
If we get anyone in January it will be loans, and they need to have played in the Premier, like Dewsbury Hall at Everton, the right player really can benefit the team. Not a time to experiment with foreign players with potential, we have enough of them!.

15 Dec 2025 08:24:13
Wouldn’t mind us getting Connor Gallagher on loan with the option to buy. Would be good business.

15 Dec 2025 11:34:00
Gallagher is a good shout, competitive and full of energy, Evan Ferguson is supposedly going back to Brighton in January, more risky but the right coach may get his form back?, but if McAtee could get his head right, there wouldn't be a need for many re-enforcements.

10 Dec 2025 09:28:46
RUMOUR:

"According to the Daily Mail, Murillo is now open to a departure from Forest, but not until the summer.

It’s claimed that he’s considering his next steps, with Real Madrid and Chelsea seemingly the favourites to sign him.

Evangelos Marinakis will be standing firm though, with any accepted deal for Murillo likely to exceed the £55 million that Forest received for Anthony Elanga from Newcastle. "

10 Dec 2025 10:02:55
Likely to be at least double Elengas imo?.

10 Dec 2025 10:17:00
From madriduniversal website:

In the aftermath of Eder Militao’s latest injury setback, the conversation around Real Madrid has shifted quickly from their disappointing 0–2 defeat to Celta Vigo to the club’s urgent need to reinforce their backline.

The Brazilian defender is expected to be sidelined for an estimated four months, a development that has forced the club’s recruitment strategy back into the spotlight and raised questions about how Los Blancos plan to go through the remainder of the season.

According to reports from AS, Real Madrid have now placed Nottingham Forest centre-back Murillo on their shortlist of defensive options.

10 Dec 2025 10:17:15
Should be £100M, no question.

10 Dec 2025 20:04:00
If we get any more than £90M that is at least a 600% profit margin.

10 Dec 2025 23:44:53
Seeing how we perform without Murillo, I wish he would stay but he will leave, so we should get what he's worth to Forest, 100 million+, and hope we can get another gem like him!.

18 Dec 2025 13:12:09
The media will always jump on this and I know we will struggle to hold on to him but to say he's actively looking would only be agents talk.

19 Dec 2025 19:02:56
I'd hate to see Murillo go - but my gut feeling is that if an offer came in around £70-80M, and he wanted to go, Big M would let him go.

03 Dec 2025 19:19:25
Murillo played left back, Hutchinson starting tonight, makes you wonder if Sean Dyche is looking on this site ?.

04 Dec 2025 07:33:38
We told him he needed aerial presence in the box vs Wolves.

04 Dec 2025 14:54:52
Just in case he does, Sean play Yates more from the start?.

04 Dec 2025 15:35:41
If I see him in the pub, I'll tell him people on here have been wanting Yates to start.

05 Dec 2025 18:15:17
Cyclist and Mossy, if I thought Sean Dyche paid any attention at all to this site, I’d recommend he gets sectioned under the Mental Health Act. If he wasn’t mad when he started he certainly would be after a while ……???????.

05 Dec 2025 22:04:11
He'd be fast asleep after one of your story's that's for sure stokey and wonder where his bedsheets have disappeared to ???.

06 Dec 2025 11:42:36
????.

07 Dec 2025 21:22:25
Sean, Sean WTF??.

02 Dec 2025 22:59:41
Read a couple of rumors linking us with Stefan de Vrij, 33yr dutch CB at Inter and out of contact in the summer.
Does this mean Murillo is leaving come the close season? 100m plus would probably be enough. ?.

03 Dec 2025 15:33:12
At that age Red it’s probably Boly’s replacement on the bench or Europa squad perhaps?

03 Dec 2025 19:09:00
Dunno mate, I'd expect he's probably on fairly large wages, so bench warmer maybe, maybe not, who knows. ?.

18 Dec 2025 10:03:51
Edu wouldn't be able to factor a player of his age into the PSR structure, it doesn't fit our current recruitment strategy. Edu gets a lot of grief because he really has a thankless task. We need young talent with good resale prospects.

26 Nov 2025 22:44:35
Heard a rumour that Anderson will end up at Arsenal!

21 Nov 2025 16:30:01
RUMOUR: Awoniyi to Werder Bremen in January

"t’s claimed the two parties met earlier this week, and the Reds have decided to let him leave in January if there’s a ‘satisfactory offer’. There’s no mention of the fee needed to convince Sean Dyche’s side.

The frontman is also open to a move, and his preference is to continue in the Premier League. There’s been no signs of interest from England while Werder Bremen are keen on securing his services.

Werder Bremen manager Horst Steffen admires the Nottingham Forest player and aims to make him a key part of his attack if the two clubs can reach an agreement. "

21 Nov 2025 20:15:28
Good luck to him if he goes, always gives his all for us and his goals back when we got promoted kept us up. Sadly i don't think he'll ever reach those heights again in the prem.
He did well at Union so knows the league and should settle well. ?.

22 Nov 2025 00:45:19
Taiwo will always be held in high esteem, due to his efforts in our first season back in the prem. If he does leave, I'll always remember his goal against Arsenal that comfired prem survival. He's still a handful, when fully fit, but offers little goal threat.

22 Nov 2025 10:59:14
The rumours seem to indicate that they are looking to farm out either Taiwo or Kalimuendo and try to bring in a striker in January. It's normally really expensive, so could be a loan.

If Wood and Taiwo stay fit, I'd loan Kalimuendo to get him minutes if they are bringing someone else in unless they can get a big enough fee for Taiwo to fund an upgrade.

22 Nov 2025 11:21:31
If Awoniyi had have kept fit, he would have been a regular goal scorer for us, he was so unlucky with injuries, and after his dreadful clash with the post he was lucky to play again!. If he does leave hope he's successful where ever he ends up, but still might have a purple patch for us?, you never know.
