Orel Mangala wants to leave Nottingham Forest

Any Nottingham Forest supporter who hoped to see Orel Mangala back at the City Ground this summer should now brace themselves for disappointment.

The Belgium international joined Lyon on loan in the January transfer window, and the French giants also agreed a purchase option with Nottingham Forest, which is believed to be worth up to £30m.

Now, Mangala has admitted that he would love Lyon to trigger this option to buy.

As quoted by Foot Mercato, the Belgian said: “I feel good here, even if a few physical problems prevented me from continuing. I am happy with my season and the confidence that0 was placed in me. The purchase option? I hope it will be lifted (activated), yes.”
