Belgium international Orel Mangala has completed a permanent transfer from Nottingham Forest to Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyonnais, the Premier League side announced on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old midfielder spent the first half of last season with Forest before being loaned to Lyon during the January transfer window, with the Ligue 1 side deciding to make the deal permanent.

Details were not disclosed but British media reported the deal was worth around 15 million pounds ($19.00 million).

Mangala, who played at Euro 2024, had a role in Lyon's turnaround last season as they climbed out of the relegation zone to secure a sixth-place finish.
