Reports from France suggests the fee is €31m, equating to around £26m. If that is true then that is very good business for
#NFFC
and would pretty much make up the PSR deficit.
It will also allow Forest to play hardball with their asking price on Murillo too! 👌

Moussa Niakhaté va signer à l’OL pour 31M€. Le défenseur sénégalais arrive ce soir à Lyon et va s’engager 4 ans. La priorité à ce poste était Nayef Aguerd, mais le club n’a pas voulu s’aligner sur les demandes de West Ham (45M€).
