Elliot Anderson, Manchester City, Nottingham Forest
3 June 2026
Manchester City had an opening bid for Elliot Anderson rejected by Nottingham Forest as they formalised their interest in the midfielder. Forest expect strong summer pressure, with Anderson preparing for the World Cup in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad.
City view Anderson as a leading midfield target after Bernardo Silva’s exit opened space in the squad. The fee could exceed the British-player record, while Sandro Tonali remains another long-term midfield option under consideration this summer.
