Arnaud Kalimuendo

Recent reports from July 2026 indicate Eintracht Frankfurt has offered around €20 million for a permanent transfer, while Nottingham Forest is demanding at least €25 million, with some reports mentioning up to €27 million. This follows a loan spell that began in January 2026, which included a purchase option consistently reported at €27 million, a sum Frankfurt is reportedly unwilling to pay. If the deal with Frankfurt fails, reports from March 2026 suggest Nottingham Forest would seek €30-€35 million from other clubs. This is consistent with the €30 million fee Nottingham Forest paid to Rennes for the player in August 2025. During his time at Rennes, his valuation was frequently cited as being around €20 million in 2024 and early 2025.

Our valuation for Arnaud Kalimuendo is driven by the well-documented, ongoing negotiations between Eintracht Frankfurt and Nottingham Forest. The range is anchored by Frankfurt's reported offer of €20 million and Nottingham's counter-demand of €25-€27 million, which is also the value of the original purchase option. The player's recent €30 million transfer to Nottingham Forest in August 2025 provides a strong historical benchmark, suggesting a final fee will likely be a compromise between the current bid and that prior investment.
