of loaning him out, contrary to their initial statement in September claiming he had joined Turkish side Caykur Rizespor on a season-long loan. The club allegedly deleted the post announcing the loan move, and recent reports suggest that Shelvey’s transfer was permanent.
The confusion around Shelvey’s departure may raise questions for Nottingham Forest, as even the Premier League’s official website continues to list him as a loan transfer. Interestingly, the club doesn’t include Shelvey in their first-team squad on their website, unlike other players who have been loaned out.
It appears that the initial plan was for Shelvey to join on loan, but the club realized this would exceed the maximum limit of seven players allowed to be loaned out simultaneously under FIFA rules. To avoid breaching this limit, Nottingham Forest reportedly decided to terminate Shelvey’s contract instead.
Mail Sport has sought comments from Nottingham Forest regarding this matter. Meanwhile, the club faces potential consequences, including a points deduction, if found to have violated the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules. A decision on charges is expected later this month.
In response, Nottingham Forest stated that they have fully complied with reporting obligations related to the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules, emphasizing their commitment to long-term financial sustainability amid challenges associated with promotion.
