Summary
- Eintracht Frankfurt seeks Kalimuendo permanently after a strong loan.

Eintracht Frankfurt is pursuing a permanent transfer for Arnaud Kalimuendo from Nottingham Forest. The French forward previously spent the latter half of the last season on loan with the German club, where he made a significant impression. Talks between the two clubs are ongoing regarding a permanent deal.
However, the transfer faces several hurdles. Kalimuendo has reportedly agreed to personal terms with Eintracht Frankfurt, committing to a contract until 2031 and expressing a desire to return. Despite this, new Nottingham Forest head coach Oliver Glasner, a former Eintracht Frankfurt manager, is an admirer of the player.
Glasner recently lauded Kalimuendo's performance in a friendly match, emphasizing that all players at Nottingham Forest are being given opportunities to prove themselves. He acknowledged the unpredictability of the transfer market.
Eintracht Frankfurt previously held a €27 million purchase option for Kalimuendo but chose not to activate it. Instead, they are attempting to negotiate a lower transfer fee with Nottingham Forest.
