Nottingham Forest willing to negotiate Arnaud Kalimuendo’s exit | OneFootball

Arnaud Kalimuendo scored six goals and provided one assist in 19 Bundesliga games while on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt from Nottingham Forest in 2025/26, and now the Bundesliga side are seeking to sign the French attacker on a permanent basis.

Bild understands that negotiations are ongoing, with new developments emerging. Frankfurt, who recently announced the return of Adi Hütter, have no intention of paying the previously agreed €27m purchase option. However, the 24-year-old has signalled his intent to join the Hessen club permanently which could force NFFC’s hand.

Frankfurt value Kalimuendo at around €20m and don’t want to go higher, although the Premier League club are insisting on a fee in the region of €25m, per Bild. With the expected departures of Elye Wahi and Noel Futkeu, it’s likely that club bosses will inject a percentage of the fees received into signing the Frenchman on a permanent basis.
