Nottingham Forest
Arnaud Kalimuendo arrived at the City Ground after Nottingham Forest signed him from Stade Rennais in August 2025.
The striker scored two goals in 392 minutes 14 matches for the Premier League side and played 23 minutes in the league since the end of September.
Nottingham Forest’s managerial changes and poor run didn’t help Kalimuendo settle quickly in England.
Good start for Nottingham Forest man
The Reds allowed the 24-year-old to join Eintracht Frankfurt on loan with an option to buy in January and this move has worked out well so far.
The Nottingham Forest owned player has managed three goals and one assist from eight matches for the German club.
Last month, the Frenchman said he’s unsure whether Eintracht Frankfurt will make his stay permanent. Bild relay his comments and provide the latest on Eintracht Frankfurt’s plan to buy him.
The attacker has impressed in Germany, and his form has pleased both the Bundesliga side’s leaders and their manager, Albert Riera.
Internally, Eintracht Frankfurt have a desire to keep him beyond his loan spell, and the player also wants to stay.
Personal terms for Nottingham Forest exit
Eintracht Frankfurt negotiated a potential contract with him during the winter market. Bild state the personal terms discussed are for a contract until 2031 with a base salary of €3m per year. In short, the ‘stage is set for a shared future’.
The Bundesliga side have agreed a €27m purchase clause with Vítor Pereira’s side. The report adds that despite negotiating personal terms, they will make a final decision at the end of the season.
Riera’s side have already informed this to the player and his agent. Both parties want to focus on sporting objectives until the end of this season.
If Eintracht Frankfurt miss out on Europe, the newspaper claim it’s ‘hardly conceivable’ to buy the Nottingham Forest man.
That may be concerning for Kalimuendo because the German club are now eighth in the table, trailing sixth placed Bayer Leverkusen [with a game in hand] by eight points.
