Nottingham Forest are reportedly set to fly Orel Mangala out to Athens for a medical this afternoon (Tuesday) ahead of completing a transfer to the club.
Reports that an agreement had been reached between the Reds and Stuttgart emerged on Monday afternoon, and the midfielder now looks set to take the next step towards making a move by heading out to the Greek capital on Tuesday. A transfer fee of around £12.75 million is apparently set.
The 24-year-old is being recruited by Forest's head of data and analytic recruitment George Syrianos for the second time after playing a part in bringing Mangala to Germany in the first place from Anderlecht back in 2017 while still Stuttgart's head of analytics.
