Nottingham Forest transfer fee revealed ahead of second deadline day swoop

Nottingham Forest will have an option to buy defender Loic Bade for £12million at the end of his impending loan deal, it has been reported.

The Reds are closing in on a season-long loan move for the Rennes defender, who looks set to become head coach Steve Cooper's 20th signing of the summer this evening. He will be the second centre-back to arrive today following the signing of Willy Boly, which was confirmed this morning.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Forest will have a £12m buy option clause in the loan deal, which they will be able to activate next summer if he hits the ground running in the Premier League. Romano tweeted: "Nottingham Forest are set to sign Loïc Badé on loan with buy option from Rennes. Buy option clause will be worth £12m."
