Nottingham Forest have received a bid of £30m from Olympique Lyon for the transfer of midfielder Orel Mangala, claims The Athletic.
This is inclusive of all add-ons but is a major bid for a player whom the Premier League had signed for just £10.5m in 2022.
Lyon upped their transfer offer for Mangala with the knowledge that Forest are under pressure to raise funds through transfers after recently being accused of breaching the PL's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
The French side, who are currently lingering in 16th position in Ligue 1, believe that Mangala is keen to join them and can help get out of the difficult predicament.
Forest are now weighing up their options and whether they can sell Mangala for this major fee and put the money to good use in making some signings before the winter transfer deadline.
Mangala has been one of the most consistent players for the Premier League side this season, having made 21 appearances.
