Nottingham Forest transfer exit was a ‘good choice’ as ‘complicated’ admission made

The agent of Everton midfielder Amadou Onana said that Orel Mangala’s exit from Nottingham Forest was a “good choice.”

After reportedly paying £12 million in transfer fees, the 25-year-old left German Bundesliga team VFB Stuttgart to join the City Ground in July 2022. In his first season as a Garibaldi Red, he made 31 appearances and was instrumental in helping the team secure a spot in the top division for another season under the leadership of former Forest manager Steve Cooper.

But after Nuno Espirito Santo was appointed, the Belgium international found it difficult to get playing time. He went from being a consistent starter to a player who is frequently used as a replacement under Nuno.

In addition, Mangala’s sister and agent Melissa Onana commented on his departure, saying that given his lack of playing time, Mangala made a “good choice.” “It’s a good decision to leave, Nottingham, as I know the club a little bit,” she remarked.

“To start with, it’s really challenging to leave the Premier League. I really appreciate the way of thinking in England. It is essentially a football nation. To be honest, money is a factor when it comes to athletic circumstances as well.

Considering that, you cannot tell me that there are no other clubs on the table, therefore if he quits, there needs to be a good reason. There must be a reason for leaving the Premier League because it is a highly hard process.
