Nottingham, UK – Nottingham Forest have shattered their transfer record to officially sign Swiss international winger Dan Ndoye from Bologna.
The 24-year-old has put pen to paper on a long-term contract, a five-year deal with an option until June 2031, after successfully completing his medical.
The transfer fee for Ndoye is a substantial €40 million, 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 been a standout performer in Serie A, brings blistering pace, directness, and versatility to Forest’s attack.
His impressive performances for Bologna, where he helped the club secure a historic UEFA Champions League spot, caught the attention of several top clubs across Europe.
This blockbuster signing represents a massive statement of intent from Nottingham Forest and their owner Evangelos Marinakis.
After a summer of significant spending, Ndoye’s arrival 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 “all sealed,” Forest fans can look forward to seeing their new record signing in action, adding a new dimension to their attacking options for the upcoming season.
