Nottingham Asked to Cough Up 8m for Stranded Senegalese Striker Diagne

The City Ground potentially stands to be Mbaye Diagne’s next home if Nottingham Forest coughs up 8m million euros.

Reports are being bandied about of the English second-tier side’s growing interest in the striker, who was months ago, ahead of the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo on the scoring charts of European goal-getters.

The 28-year-old is sidelined at Club Brugge after a spat with coach Phillipe Clement leading to the pair’s current tempestuous relationship.

Clement and Diagne’s fall out spans back to last September when the then marquee signing flouted penalty-taking hierarchy rules to take a spot-kick which he eventually lost as PSG ran out narrow victors.

Phillipe has been incensed since, ordering the forward’s ostracization from his first-team plans despite parent club Galatarsaray’s initial bluffs they would resort to FIFA’s intervention.

Nottingham Forest have now emerged as leading runners in the chase for the Senegal international.

However, they must fork out the aforesaid sum to get the forward.
