Nottingham Forest reportedly did not include a buy-back option when signing Bayern Munich left-back Omar Richards this summer.
The former England under-21 international joined the Reds for a transfer fee in the region of £7million way back in July and signed a four-year contract at the City Ground following a single season with the perennial Bundesliga champions. Add-ons could also potentially take that total figure further towards the £10million mark.
Richards sustained a hairline fracture in his leg during pre-season training just weeks after arriving at the club and has been sidelined ever since. Therefore, the 24-year-old is still yet to make an appearance for Forest, with fellow summer signings Harry Toffolo and more recently Renan Lodi lining up on the left-hand side instead.
