Arnaud Kalimuendo: Frankfurt linked with move for France-DR Congo striker from Nottingham Forest

French-DR Congo centre-forward Arnaud Kalimuendo is being linked with a move from Premier League side Nottingham Forest to Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt, with the 24-year-old valued at around €25.00m.

Transfer rumours surfaced on 15 June 2026, with the deal currently carrying an unspecified probability (“?”) and no confirmed contract end date at Forest, raising the possibility that the forward’s situation could yet evolve into a free-agent scenario if terms are not clarified.

Kalimuendo, born in Suresnes on 20 January 2002, stands at 1.78m and operates primarily as a central striker, preferring his right foot. He holds dual nationality with France and DR Congo, and his attacking profile has reportedly attracted Frankfurt as they look to reinforce their frontline for the Bundesliga campaign.

The former Paris Saint-Germain academy product has already experienced top-flight football in major European leagues and now finds his future under fresh scrutiny. Recent data lists Frankfurt as his current club with shirt number 25, underlining the uncertainty around whether a deal has already advanced in principle or remains at the rumour stage between Forest and the German side.

Market specialists currently rate Kalimuendo at €25.00m, a figure expected to frame any negotiations should Forest opt for a sale rather than risk losing him when his contractual situation becomes clearer.

In recent action, Kalimuendo featured for Nottingham Forest in a Premier League fixture earlier this month, leading the line against top-flight opponents as Forest battled to secure safety, though his individual display has not yet translated into a decisive breakthrough in front of goal this term.

With his peak years ahead of him and interest emerging from a club regularly competing in Europe, a switch to Frankfurt – if it materialises – could prove a pivotal step in shaping Kalimuendo’s trajectory at the highest level.
