Eintracht Frankfurt have locked onto Nottingham Forest striker Arnaud Kalimuendo as their primary attacking objective for the January transfer window. According to TEAMtalk, the German champions are prepared to negotiate with the Premier League club, which has placed a €30 million valuation on the 24-year-old. While Forest officials would prefer a permanent sale to recoup the fee paid to Rennes, they are realistic enough to entertain a loan agreement that guarantees regular first-team football for the forward.
Key Match Highlights & Tactical Analysis
Kalimuendo’s struggles at the City Ground have accelerated his exit timeline. Since returning to England for the current campaign, the Frenchman has been marginalized by head coach Oliver Glasner, accumulating just 110 minutes across five appearances without contributing a single goal or assist. With four of those outings coming off the bench, his lack of impact has prompted multiple suitors to circle, but Frankfurt’s interest appears to be the most serious as they look to bolster their attacking depth before the mid-season market opens.
The move represents a significant opportunity for Kalimuendo to revive his career after a disappointing stint in the East Midlands. Having signed a long-term contract running until June 2030 in August 2025, the striker is eager to secure a starting role elsewhere. For Forest, facilitating a departure aligns with their pragmatic approach to squad management, allowing them to either offload a high-value asset or secure a profitable loan fee while addressing their own squad needs.
