Forest in talks with Lyon over Mangala sale
Nottingham Forest are in talks with Lyon over a deal for Orel Mangala, with the Premier League side understood to be holding out for an initial £25m fee for the Belgium midfielder.
That would represent a significant profit on the player who joined in July 2022 from Stuttgart for around £12m and has made 19 appearances in the Premier League this season. Lyon are believed to have offered a package worth up to £30m in add-ons for the 25-year-old and remain in negotiations.
The French club – who are owned by John Textor, Crystal Palace’s biggest shareholder – are also reported to have agreed a £15m fee for West Ham’s Saïd Benrahma but the forward has yet to decide whether he wants to move.
