Toffolo joined the Reds in 2022 after Forest won promotion to the Premier League and went on to make 50 appearances for the club.
"It was easy at the start really because I've been on holiday, but now I've come back and seen the city. You see the familiar faces - people you have built relationships with. They've come into your life at an important time - I've helped them and they've helped me," an emotional Toffolo told Forest TV.
"It's tough but wherever I go next, I'm excited for the future. I'm very, very grateful for this football club. It moved me when I was driving through the gate into the players' car park for probably the last time.
"This football club has given me so much. The fans... you have no idea what you have done [for me]."

Forest finished seventh in the Premier League last season and secured European football in the process, with the Conference League coming to the City Ground next season.
And although he is leaving, Toffolo is optimistic about the future for the club.
"The facilities are incredible and you can really see a Premier League club now that's only going to get stronger and stronger. The club really has come a long way."

Liverpool star forces Arne Slot to rethink plans
picked up a hamstring injury against Bournemouth on Friday night. Now we know how long Liverpool will miss him for. Jeremie Frimpong went off at 59 minutes against Bournemouth last Friday as Liverpool eventually won 4-2. Wataru Endo came on at right-back - a surprise substitution. It turned out that Frimpong was actually forced off. Liverpool felt they needed to remove him because of a hamstring injury on what was his Premier League debut for the Reds.

According to Lewis Steele, the former Bayer Leverkusen wing-back is "in a race against time to be fit for Newcastle on Monday, after feeling discomfort in his hamstring." It's a massive blow to Liverpool and Frimpong. The Dutch defender has started very brightly for the club, scoring in the Community Shield against Crystal Palace. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Jeremie Frimpong OUT injured It's especially a blow for Liverpool because Conor Bradley is also out injured. There was speculation that the youngster would actually start for the club against Palace but an injury ruled him out of the Wembley clash. Bradley has been out since, leaving Liverpool with only Frimpong. Of course, now they lack any right-backs at all. That will be a huge problem for Arne Slot.

Leeds' Ethan Ampadu out until at least after international break with knee injury
Leeds United captain Ethan Ampadu will be missing until at least after the upcoming international break after injuring the medial collateral ligament (MCL) in his right knee. Tim Iroegbunam was booked for his foul on Ampadu, which left him clutching his knee on the turf during Monday's second half against Everton. The Wales international was able to continue and then came off without any assistance in the 78th minute of the game. Advertisement Manager Daniel Farke had hoped it would just be a bruise for Ampadu but in Thursday's press conference, he confirmed it was an MCL injury. Ampadu will be absent from Saturday's Arsenal visit, the Carabao Cup clash at Sheffield Wednesday and then next weekend's visit of Newcastle United. 'Bad news with him,' said Farke. 'Sadly, in the next games, we have to play without him. (He has an) MCL injury. He will definitely be out at least until the international break. 'I hope to have him back on the other side of the international break. Normally, he's pretty quickly back on the training pitch after an injury. 'He's also a tough boy, but it's a blow for us that we will miss him in at least the two upcoming Premier League games, plus the (Carabao) Cup game. It's not ideal for us. 'He has proven his worth, not just in the last game. He's our captain, not just from his performance, but also in the dressing room and from the whole body language. 'He's always been a very, very important player. It's not ideal he's out after this tackle, but it's football, sometimes there is an injury and we have to find some other solutions.'

Borussia Dortmund in talks with Chelsea over double deal
By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on August 21, 2025, 19:23 IST Borussia Dortmund are in discussions with Chelsea regarding the potential signings of two promising young talents, according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano. Talks are progressing on a permanent transfer for one player and a loan deal for the other, as the Bundesliga side look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. The first player is a young midfielder who joined Chelsea from another Premier League club but has struggled to secure consistent minutes at Stamford Bridge. Despite showing flashes of quality, injuries and competition in the squad have limited his opportunities. Dortmund, well known for their track record of developing emerging stars, see him as an ideal candidate for a long-term project and are negotiating a permanent deal. The second player is a teenage defender signed by Chelsea earlier this year. The London club consider him part of their future plans and have made it clear that he will only be available on loan, with no option to buy. Dortmund are pushing to secure his services on a temporary basis, believing that he can provide added depth and gain valuable experience in the Bundesliga. Both players are open to the move, attracted by the possibility of more regular first-team football and the chance to develop under a club renowned for nurturing young talent.
