Elliot Anderson price tag revealed as United and City prepare to battle

However, The Athletic have revealed that Forest owner, Evangelos Marinakis has slapped a record price tag of £125 million on his head.

The Greek owner has shown in the recent past how stubborn he can be when it comes to valuations, and it will be interesting to see if the Englishman‘s price does come down, especially in case Forest suffer relegation at the end of the season.

“Elliot Anderson tops United’s list for midfield due to his all-action style, but Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is believed to want as much as £125m for him.

City vs United for Elliot Anderson

“Marinakis has shown he is a formidable personality, holding firm on Morgan Gibbs-White last summer despite Spurs attempting to trigger his exit clause.

“Should Forest go down, though, logic dictates Anderson’s price would also reduce. Manchester City are thought to be Anderson’s favoured destination in the event of a move.

“But Rodri’s future is a factor. Some close observers doubt City could agree a fresh contract with Rodri and spend more than £100m on Anderson.”

Given the wage demands of Elliot Anderson and the current price tag, it looks almost impossible for the 20-time English league champions to pull off the deal.

All eyes will be on Forest’s fate in the English top flight. It will also be interesting to see how Marinakis reacts should the England international push for a move away irrespective of his team’s status.
