Nottingham Forest forced his exit from Union Berlin after activating a 20 million euros release clause in his contract.

Awoniyi’s former club Liverpool inserted a ten percent sell-on clause into the deal taking the striker to Union Berlin last summer. The Anfield side will thus receive ten percent of the transfer fee (equivalent of two million euros).
