AdminNottingham Forest has identified Anderlecht’s talented 22-year-old left-back Moussa N’Diaye as their top target for the January transfer window. According to reports from reliable sources, including Anderlecht Online, the Reds are keen to bring N’Diaye to the City Ground to bolster their defensive options.
However, convincing N’Diaye to leave Anderlecht won’t be an easy task. The player is reportedly in no rush to depart the Belgian club, and his contract runs until 2027, giving Anderlecht a strong bargaining position.
Anderlecht is seeking a significant transfer fee for N’Diaye’s services, with reports suggesting they want over €10m. This is a substantial increase on N’Diaye’s current valuation of €2m, but it’s a price Nottingham Forest may be willing to pay to secure the services of their top target.
To succeed in their pursuit of N’Diaye, Nottingham Forest will need to negotiate with both the player and Anderlecht. This won’t be a straightforward process, given the complex history between the two clubs.
In January 2023, Nottingham Forest’s Harry Toffolo was close to joining Anderlecht, only for the Reds to pull the plug on the deal at the last minute. Anderlecht took legal action against Nottingham Forest over the failed transfer, and the two clubs were embroiled in a bitter dispute for several months.
It remains to be seen whether this past dispute will impact Nottingham Forest’s chances of signing N’Diaye. However, the Reds are clearly keen to bring the talented left-back to the City Ground, and they’ll likely be willing to negotiate hard to make it happen.
