Puerta close to move: Forest trigger option, Bayer 04 gets €8.5m
As reported by kicker, Nottingham Forest are set to exercise their purchase option, with €8.5m earmarked for Bayer 04 via resale participation.
Gustavo Puerta is on the verge of a transfer move. As kicker reports, Nottingham Forest are preparing to trigger a purchase option connected to his time at Racing Santander.
Option likely to be taken
According to the outlet, the Premier League side would activate an €18m purchase option. That figure is the key baseline for the deal and the starting point for how the money is ultimately split.
Bayer 04 stands to gain
Still per kicker, a resale participation clause means Bayer 04 would receive €8.5m from the operation. In other words, it’s not just a minor add-on: the German club would bank a significant share linked to the next step in Puerta’s career.
The next milestone is straightforward: if Forest exercise the option, the transfer’s direction becomes clearer and Puerta’s move would take another concrete step forward.
