Nottingham Forest terminated the contract of Jonjo Shelvey before he joined Turkish club Caykur Rizespor on a free transfer, contrary to their original statement that he left the club on loan.
Forest announced via their official channels that Shelvey had departed to Turkey on loan eight months after signing a two-and-a-half-year contract at the City Ground, but the move was in fact permanent. In a post from September, which Forest subsequently deleted last month, the club claimed: “Jonjo Shelvey has completed a season-long loan move to Turkish Super Lig side Caykur Rizespor.” The transfer is also listed on the Premier League’s official website as a loan.
