FFP concerns lead to Nottingham Forest’s transfer position on a £30 million deal emerging.
Napoli have reportedly submitted a “new offer” for Nottingham Forest’s Orel Mangala.
Recent reports have claimed that Napoli and Juventus had submitted a bid. However, it was said that the former is “only” looking for a loan deal and that Forest want to offload Mangala permanently in January.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s arrival at the City Ground has seen the Belgium international’s game time limited. The 25-year-old started Nuno’s first game in charge, against Bournemouth, but was hooked at half-time as Forest fell to a 3-2 defeat. He has since made a brief appearance against Manchester United and played against Blackpool and Brentford.
And now, journalist Florian Plettenberg has claimed that Napoli’s new bid for Mangala is a six-month loan with an obligation to buy. He adds that the total package is “around €30-35million” but claims that Forest “want more” for the midfielder.
“Exclusive: Napoli have submitted a new offer for Orel #Mangala in the last hours!” he said on X, formerly known as Twitter. “6-months-loan. Obligation to buy. Total package with a loan fee included: Around €30-35m.”
“Forest bosses want more. The 25-year-old midfielder is keen on the move.
