Bundesliga side Mainz didn’t want to deny new Nottingham Forest man Moussa Niakhate his dream of playing in the Premier League, something that played a part in the club sanctioning the transfer.
Niakhate completed a transfer to the City Ground this week, signing a three-year contract. The deal will reportedly see Forest pay a fee of €10 million plus an extra €5 million in potential add-ons.
The central defender had been with Mainz since joining from Metz in 2018. In his four years with the club he made a total of 135 appearances, but was ready for a new challenge in England.
