Nottingham Forest’s deadline day swoop for defender Loic Bade has seemingly been thrown into doubt.
The centre-back was expected to complete a loan move to the City Ground from Rennes, which included an option to make the switch permanent. However, there is said to be a late stumbling block which may mean it doesn’t get over the line.
According to French outlet RMC Sport, the fact Rennes have yet to find a potential replacement for the 22-year-old could see the deal “ultimately fall apart”. Bade and his representatives are said to be in England, but are “in the dark and waiting for a green light from Stade Rennais which may never happen”.
