Real Madrid would consider an approach for the 23-year-old English midfielder Elliot Anderson if a significant departure of players were to occur at Manchester City. The potential for a mass departure from the Manchester club is due to the possibility of severe sanctions after it was found guilty of numerous financial rule breaches. Anderson is mentioned as one of several players Real Madrid would approach if the situation at City leads to a large-scale departure. The England international, who has 18 caps, joined Manchester City in July 2026, and his contract is valid until 2031. Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €110.00m.
