PSV Eindhoven midfielder Ibrahim Sangare was ‘quite sad’ when departing the club for Nottingham Forest on deadline day.

That’s according to journalist Marco Timmer, who says the move is very much being seen as a ‘see you later than a farewell’ by the relevant parties.

Sangare completed a move to Nottingham Forest yesterday following months of speculation and effort from Steve Cooper’s side to get him.

The Ivorian had appeared slightly reluctant to make the move for much of the summer, an understandable stance given he had also been linked to the likes of Paris Saint Germain.

He eventually accepted the move on deadline day, though, with Nottingham Forest paying €35m to get him and PSV more than happy to sell to help balance the books.

Indeed, for much of this week it was made clear that the decision would very much be Sangare’s to make, with him continuing to deliberate on it.

He eventually decided to go but Timmer reports that the player’s departure from De Herdgang was ‘quite sad’ after he had enjoyed ‘wonderful years’ at the club.

Indeed, he states that his departure to Nottingham Forest is being seen as ‘more like a see you later’ than a complete farewell.

Whether that means he ends up back at PSV in future remains to be seen and for now at least it’s all focus on Nottingham Forest, who will be hoping the midfielder can put his sadness to one side quicky.
