The Bundesliga side have agreed a €27 million buyout clause with Nottingham Forest but his future after this season remains uncertain.

Kalimuendo arrived at the City Ground from Stade Rennais in August 2025 and failed to score or assist in nine Premier League matches.

In January, the Premier League side sent him on loan to Germany, and the move has gone well so far. The striker played 16 matches, scoring six goals and providing one assist.

Wahi has performed well in France and has scored seven goals and two assists in 15 matches this year. There have been claims that Besiktas are interested in him.

Bild relayed this and insisted he would not leave for less than €20m, and are confident the Turkish club would make a move for Wahi. The Ligue 1 side would also be ready to buy him.

The Bundesliga side did not include any purchase option and believe his price will continue to rise. Their sporting director, Markus Kroesch, is confident of collecting a fair fee for Wahi.

Eintracht Frankfurt’s Noel Futkeau is on loan at Greuther Furth and they hope to raise €10m for him in the summer.

Crochet and his team’s ‘big hope’ is to sell Wahi and Futaku to finance a deal for a player owned by Nottingham Forest. There is a €27 million purchase option but he is willing to negotiate with the Reds to reduce the price.

Nottingham Forest have the final say

There is no mention of whether Vitor Pereira’s side are willing to make a discount to Eintracht Frankfurt. Either way, the final decision will rest with the English club.

If the Reds do not do so, the deal will be complicated for the German club. In that case, Arnaud Kalimuendo will have to return to the City Ground and Nottingham Forest and then decide on his future.

His contract with the Premier League team is until 2030, and transfer market He is worth €25 million.

Chelsea’s midfield plans are again under scrutiny, with Andre Santos drawing attention during a busy week of European fixtures in London.

This comes shortly after the same player was linked with a move to Manchester United.

Chelsea have invested heavily in midfield. Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia all arrived for big fees, and it is difficult for their competitors to secure minutes. Even Reece James is being tested in midfield by Liam Rosenior recently.

That reality has shaped how Chelsea manages young players. And Santos is a clear example of that dynamism.

But despite limited opportunities, the Brazilian has quietly become one of the team’s most effective defensive midfielders when he does play.

according to footystatsHe averages 2.60 tackles and 1.58 interceptions per 90 minutes. These numbers place him among the strong performers in his role.

He is also active in duels, winning 5.75 ground duels per 90. Additionally, he contributes to blocks and recoveries while avoiding mistakes.

Being in possession also keeps him reliable. Santos has completed 556 of 620 passes this season, with an 89.7% completion rate. That consistency allows Chelsea to maintain control in the midfield phases.

His blend of defensive intensity and composure on the ball makes him one of the more complete profiles available. Still, this has not translated into consistent minutes.

That situation has started to attract attention. Manchester United Recently he has been linked with Andre Santos as they look for a young midfield profile. This interest highlights both his ceiling and the uncertainty surrounding his role at Stamford Bridge.

Joins Inter line-up after London scouting trip

That context makes the latest developments all the more relevant. according to fc inter newsInter Milan directors Piero Ausilio and Dario Bacin were in London during this week’s Champions League fixtures. He attended Chelsea’s clash with Paris Saint-Germain and used the opportunity to keep an eye on the players.

Santos was among those watched closely. He started the match and has been described as having a profile appreciated by Inter, although still in the early stages of interest.

His next step will depend on internal planning. It will also depend on Chelsea’s approach, given their crowded midfield and flexible approach to young players.

A profile that goes unnoticed for a long time

Chelsea may not be actively pushing for Santos’ exit, but situations like this evolve quickly.

Interest naturally increases when a midfielder delivers the ball at both ends of the pitch. Inter’s presence in London gives importance to this. The Manchester United links strengthen this even further.

The player himself says he is happy in London For now. But at the same time, Chelsea’s team construction continues to create internal competition that is difficult to resolve quickly.

Santos is right in the middle of that equation. If his role does not increase, others will try to take advantage. And if their performance continues at this level, it becomes difficult to justify their marginalization.

For now, Chelsea has the situation under control. But the balance between growth and opportunity is beginning to attract more attention than ever before.

The interest from both Manchester United and Inter Milan says a lot about Andre Santos and his development.
