Forest Green's Savage Expects Record Fee for Mendy Transfer
Forest Green's manager, Rob Savage, expects a record fee for midfielder, Reece Mendy, as the transfer window heats up. Mendy has been in high demand, and Savage believes the club will receive a substantial offer.
What's Behind the Transfer?
Reece Mendy has been a key player for Forest Green this season, scoring 12 goals and providing 10 assists in 35 appearances. His impressive form has caught the attention of several clubs, and Savage is confident that the club will receive a record-breaking offer.
Why it Matters for Forest Green
Forest Green's league standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way) is 7th in the National League, 81 points, 23 wins, 12 draws, and 11 losses from 46 games, with a recent form of WLWDW. The club is 27 points behind leaders York in the title race. With Mendy's potential departure, Forest Green will need to strengthen their squad to maintain their position in the league.
What Comes Next?
The transfer window is open, and Savage is optimistic that the club will receive a substantial offer for Mendy. However, the club will need to negotiate a deal that benefits both parties. Forest Green's recent form (last 5) is 2 wins, 0 draws, and 3 losses, with the last two losses coming in a row. The club will need to bounce back from this slump and focus on strengthening their squad for the upcoming season.
As of 24 Jul 2026, Forest Green has scored 82 goals and conceded 52, with a goal difference of +30. The club's last result was a 1-0 loss to Boreham Wood on 2026-04-29. With the transfer window open, Forest Green will need to make strategic decisions to maintain their position in the league and compete with other clubs for top talent.
