Strasbourg reportedly demands €35m for Dilane Bakwa

Dilane Bakwa has recently been the subject of a fresh approach from Nottingham Forest. The English club tabled a €31m offer, bonuses included, for the Strasbourg winger, but Racing turned it down, hoping for a fee closer to €35m.

Bakwa is currently experiencing his second summer at Strasbourg since arriving in 2023. The 22-year-old right winger, under contract with Les Bleu et Blanc until 2027, is attracting significant Premier League interest. After an initial bid of €28m, Nottingham Forest returned with a second proposal of €31m on August 13, including bonuses. The Alsatian club, which invested €10m to sign him from Bordeaux, has declined this latest offer.

Racing has no intention of letting go of one of its most promising assets on the cheap. Since joining, Bakwa has gradually become a key figure in the Ligue 1 side's attacking setup. His steady development and growing impact on matches have only increased his market value. Backed by the BlueCo consortium, Strasbourg is now in a stronger financial position and is in no rush to sell the Franco-Congolese talent.
