Emmanuel Dennis is pushing for a move away from Nottingham Forest as Toulouse and Werder Bremen explore a late transfer.
The 27-year-old forward has yet to feature for Forest this season and is eager to secure regular playing time elsewhere. However, his €4.8 million annual salary—approximately €400,000 per month—has proven a stumbling block for potential suitors.
Forest, meanwhile, are looking to recoup the €15 million they spent to sign Dennis from Watford in 2022.
French side Toulouse have expressed interest, with journalist Nizaar Kinsella, via Lesviolets, confirming that discussions have taken place.
However, financial constraints pose a challenge, as Toulouse’s wage structure is significantly lower—winger Zakaria Aboukhlal reportedly earns just €90,000 per month, according to L’Équipe.

Bundesliga outfit Werder Bremen are also in contention, with both clubs considering last-minute moves before the transfer deadline.
Scottish giants Rangers and English Championship side Sheffield Wednesday have also been linked with the former Club Brugge star in recent days.
Under contract at Forest until 2026, Dennis has not played a single minute this season and endured two disappointing loan spells last term—first with İstanbul Başakşehir, where he made eight appearances without scoring, and later at Watford, where he recorded four goals in 17 Championship matches.
Despite his recent struggles, Dennis has an impressive pedigree, having scored three goals in the Champions League, featured in the Bundesliga with FC Köln, and excelled at Club Brugge.
He also has 52 Premier League appearances to his name, contributing 12 goals and eight assists.
