Nottingham, UK – Nottingham Forest have officially confirmed the signing of Swiss international winger Dan Ndoye from Bologna in a landmark deal that shatters the club’s transfer record.
The 24-year-old has put pen to paper on a long-term contract, a five-year deal with an option to extend until June 2031.
The transfer fee is a substantial €40 million upfront, with an additional €5 million in add-ons potentially pushing the total value to €45 million. As part of the agreement, Bologna will also receive a 10% sell-on clause on any future profit Forest makes from the player.
Ndoye, who has already completed his medical, enjoyed a standout season with Bologna. He was instrumental in helping the club secure a historic spot in the UEFA Champions League, and he also scored the winning goal in the Coppa Italia final, their first major trophy in over 50 years.
His blistering pace, direct dribbling, and impressive performances caught the attention of several top European clubs, but Forest ultimately won the race for his signature.
This blockbuster signing represents a massive statement of intent from Nottingham Forest and their owner Evangelos Marinakis.
Ndoye’s arrival adds a new dimension to their attack and signals their ambition to not only solidify their place in the Premier League but also challenge for a spot in the upper half of the table.
With the deal now fully sealed, Forest fans can look forward to seeing their new record signing in action, adding firepower and flair to the squad for the upcoming season.
