Deal done: Nottingham Forest have signed Dan Ndoye from Bologna
Nottingham Forest have signed Dan Ndoye from Bologna in a big-money move reportedly worth €40 million, with an additional €5 million in add-ons. The 24-year-old swiss winger, who had an impressive 2024/25 season in Serie A, becomes one of the most expensive signings of Forest’s.
Dan Ndoye’s current market value is estimated at €35 million. His speed, dribbling ability, and versatility across the front line make him a valuable addition to Nuno Espírito Santo’s squad as they look to improve on last season’s performance in the Premier League.
The 24-year-old, who scored nine goals in a total of 41 appearances for Bologna last season, including their winner in the Coppa Italia final, has agreed a five-year deal with Nottingham Forest. The Swiss Winger played a crucial role in Bologna’s rise last season, contributing with goals, assists, and pressing in the final third. He got recognition across Europe due to his performances, making him a hot transfer target for several clubs. Nottingham Forest, however, moved swiftly to seal the deal ahead of rivals.
The swiss winger signing is expected to boost Nottingham Forest’s squad depth and tactical flexibility. The club will now focus on integrating the winger into their pre-season plans to ensure a better start to the Premier League season. With Ndoye on board, fans will be hoping for more attacking flair and creativity in the upcoming 2025/26 campaign.
Ndoye said: “I am excited to have completed the move, it is a really exciting time at Forest and I knew straight away that I wanted to be a part of the project.”
