Overview

• Forest confirmed the French forward’s five-year contract, with British and French reports valuing the transfer around £25m–£27m (about €31.5m).
• Kalimuendo, 23, arrives after an 18-goal season and has 40 in 112 for Rennes, having developed at Paris Saint‑Germain and shone on loan at Lens.
• He follows Omari Hutchinson (£37.5m) and James McAtee (£30m) through the door, taking this summer’s recruitment to roughly £147m across seven signings.
• Outgoing business has brought in significant funds, including Anthony Elanga’s reported £55m sale to Newcastle, as Forest reshape for domestic and European schedules.
• Local financial analysis indicates Forest retain PSR headroom thanks to amortised fees, recent profitability and expected Europa League revenue.
