France and DR Congo forward Arnaud Kalimuendo is being linked with a return to the French capital, with Paris FC rumoured to be exploring a move for the Nottingham Forest striker.
The 23-year-old centre-forward, currently valued at €25.00m, is the subject of speculation over a switch from the Premier League side to the Ligue 1 club, according to data compiled on 23 December 2025. The reported probability of the transfer is listed only as “?”, underlining that discussions, if any, remain at an early and uncertain stage. No contract start or end dates are indicated, leaving open the possibility that any agreement, or a failure to agree terms, could affect his longer-term status and potentially his route towards free agency in future windows.
Kalimuendo joined Forest from Stade Rennais and has since seen his market value fluctuate, most recently being adjusted from €30.00m down to €25.00m while at the City Ground. The forward, who wears number 15 for Forest, has developed through some of Europe’s leading academies, progressing from Paris Saint-Germain’s youth ranks to the senior side, and taking in loan spells at RC Lens before his permanent move to Rennes and subsequent transfer to England.
Born in Suresnes on 20 January 2002 and standing at 1.75m, Kalimuendo has experience in both Ligue 1 and the Premier League, predominantly as a central striker. His dual nationality, representing both France and DR Congo backgrounds, adds to his profile for clubs operating in the French market and beyond.
With no contract expiry listed in the available data, there is no clear indication of Forest’s negotiating position or Paris FC’s willingness to meet any asking price. If the move were to progress, a return to French football could offer Kalimuendo a new platform to rebuild his value and reshape the trajectory of a career that has already taken him through some of Europe’s most competitive leagues.
