Nottingham Forest eyeing Premier League record sale for Elliot Anderson ahead of formal Manchester City talks
As reported by Sky Sports News, Manchester City are in ‘pole position’ to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest despite the midfielder being focused on avoiding relegation to the EFL Championship in the final weeks of the Premier League campaign.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed negotiations with Anderson’s camp had begun earlier this year, while a separate report indicated Anderson personally prefers a move to the Etihad Stadium over approaches from other clubs – a preference that has clearly helped City establish their leading position in the race for the midfielder.
Anderson’s profile addresses a specific and urgent need at the Etihad Stadium. The 23-year-old offers box-to-box dynamism, an eye for goal and the kind of pressing intensity that Guardiola prizes highly – qualities that have been somewhat lacking in City’s midfield during a transitional season that has seen them lean heavily on Rodri and the outgoing Silva.
Nottingham Forest had been reported to be seeking a Premier League record sale fee for Anderson, with figures in the region of £65-100 million having been cited across various reports.
Whether Forest’s final asking price is shaped by their end-of-season Premier League status -and the financial implications that come with it – remains one of the more intriguing subplots of what is shaping up to be a consequential summer for all parties.
