According to Rodra, Manchester City are in the leading position to sign Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi after completing their transfer of Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson, although a deal could depend on Rodri’s future.

Elliot Anderson has completed his Manchester City medical after a deal was agreed with Nottingham Forest. He is expected to be presented soon, although the World Cup may delay the announcement. The deal represents a significant profit for Forest, who signed Anderson from Newcastle for €20m in a transfer that involved backup goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos.

Thomas Tuchel has commented on Anderson's advancing transfer. Tuchel said that transfers are in progress and that large transfers require time. He added that they understand matters are proceeding and will facilitate the transfer, but only after the match.

The Athletic reports that Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson underwent a medical in New York on Friday, following an agreement by Manchester City to sign the England international for $153 million (£116 million).

Manchester City and Nottingham Forest have reached a full agreement for England midfielder Elliot Anderson in a deal valued at £116 million. This amount surpasses the £100 million Manchester City paid for Jack Grealish in 2021. Nottingham Forest believe that with add-ons, the total package will become a British record, exceeding the £125 million agreement between Liverpool and Newcastle for Alexander Isak last summer. However, City sources maintain that this is not the case. According to City's official position, the transfer is for a guaranteed £116 million, paid entirely in cash, with no performance-related bonuses. Personal terms are not a problem because, as reported by Graeme Bailey, Anderson's representatives and City reached an agreement in principle several weeks ago. The Football Association has given its agreement for City to conduct Anderson's medical at England’s World Cup training base, though City plans for the medical to take place in a secret location in New York. The transfer may be announced before the final group game with Panama on Saturday, and if not, he will be a City player by Monday.

Fabrizio Romano reported that Manchester City and Nottingham Forest have agreed on a transfer fee of approximately 135 million euros for Elliot Anderson, and that the player's medical examination is scheduled to take place this weekend in the USA. According to the report, there was previous speculation about a 150 million euro fee, but Manchester City was able to reduce the price.

Britain's Press Association and the BBC reported that Manchester City have agreed a fee with Nottingham Forest for Elliot Anderson, which could rise to £130 million ($171.5 million). The move could be officially confirmed before the end of the tournament. Anderson told BBC Sport this week that he was focusing on the national side rather than his future at club level. England manager Thomas Tuchel expressed confidence that City's interest would not distract Anderson.

Manchester City have agreed to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for a guaranteed fee of £116m, which includes no add-ons. The transfer is a record for the Nottingham Forest midfielder. The Athletic reports that Elliot Anderson will have a medical in New York City on Friday and will then sign a long-term contract.

Elliot Anderson is transferring from Nottingham Forest to Manchester City. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has indicated that the transfer is completed, and The Athletic reports that an agreement has been reached between the clubs. Manchester City will pay a sum of 130 million pounds, equivalent to 150 million euros. Anderson will undergo a medical examination in America, where he is with the England national team at the World Cup.

According to The Athletic, Elliot Anderson is scheduled to have a medical in New York on Friday morning before completing his move from Nottingham Forest to Manchester City. Manchester City are working to finish the signing of the 23-year-old midfielder prior to England's 2026 FIFA World Cup game against Panama.

Fabrizio Romano reported that an agreement is in place between the clubs for Elliot Anderson to join Manchester City for a fee of up to £130m. Manchester City sources confirm the agreement is complete, after talks were in the final stages last week. David Ornstein for the Athletic also reported the deal. Anderson asked Forest today to leave the club, and a medical will take place in the US. The transfer could surpass the initial £125m Liverpool paid Newcastle United for Alexander Isak. The move is not yet complete, as there is a possibility he could change his mind at the last minute or fail his medical.

Manchester City are close to completing a British-record transfer for Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, with a package valued at approximately £130 million. According to sources from both clubs, negotiations have advanced significantly and a full agreement is expected soon following intensive work. Nottingham Forest, who recently rejected a £121m package from Man City while insisting on a higher guaranteed fee, are now preparing to accept the latest proposal. The transfer would exceed the previous British record, which was Liverpool’s £125m signing of Alexander Isak. The deal is expected to include a substantial upfront payment, which Forest requested, in addition to add-ons. Sources close to Anderson confirm he is preparing to join City after his World Cup commitments with England are finished. Personal terms for a long-term contract were agreed upon some time ago, and the player has consistently sought the transfer.

According to Romano, Manchester City have a strong desire to complete the signing of England midfielder Elliot Anderson as soon as possible, with a deal said to be progressing. Manchester City and Nottingham Forest held a direct meeting on Wednesday evening. As reported last week, the deal for Elliot Anderson to join Man City is in its advanced stages, and Romano states the club now has a full commitment to completing the transfer. Manchester City are making a strong effort to finalise the agreement, and the remaining work involves resolving a few final details with Nottingham Forest. Fresh contacts and a new round of talks have taken place between the clubs. Manchester City are now waiting for those details to be settled before finalizing the deal and feel the transfer is near completion.

Manchester City will resume negotiations with Nottingham Forest. According to the Daily Mail, new discussions are scheduled within 24 hours and might result in an agreement. Nottingham Forest is prepared to accept 150 million euros, which is 130 million pounds, for the departure of the 23-year-old player.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Manchester City is spending 125 million euros for a midfielder from Nottingham, Anderson, who is joining Manchester City.

Sport Bild reports that Manchester City will pay Nottingham Forest a British record transfer fee for Elliot Anderson, valued at approximately 150 million euros.

According to TEAMtalk, Manchester City are becoming more confident they will sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson in the coming days, and negotiations are now in their final stages. It is reported that doctors are on standby to conduct a medical in Kansas while Anderson is on international duty with England at the World Cup. Last week, Forest rejected a package from Manchester City worth a guaranteed £110m up front with an additional £11m in add-ons. Sources have indicated that owner Evangelos Marinakis, who is conducting the negotiations, is determined to secure a British record package for the midfielder. A new bid is expected to be made this week, and it is anticipated to be worth a guaranteed £120m, with potential add-ons that could raise the total value above the £130m arrangement from Alexander Isak's transfer last summer. Anderson has made his desire to join Manchester City clear, and his representatives have been pushing Forest to facilitate the transfer over the past week. Personal terms are not an issue. Sources at City are expressing quiet confidence that Anderson will become a Manchester City player, and Pep Guardiola's summer departure has not changed the player's mindset.

According to Nicolo Schira, Manchester City are set to submit a new bid of around €135-140M to Nottingham Forest to complete the deal for Elliot Anderson. The report also states that personal terms for a contract until 2031 have already been agreed with Anderson, and that he is pushing to join Manchester City as soon as possible.

According to football transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City are close to finalising a deal to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson. Romano confirmed a deal is close to being finalised, and stated that Manchester City are confident of completing the Elliot Anderson deal and that it is now at the final stages after work behind the scenes. A new round of talks is set to take place. If all goes to plan, Anderson would undergo a medical in the US before joining Man City.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Manchester City are accelerating their efforts to sign Elliot Anderson. A bid from Man City totaling £121m, which consisted of £106m plus £15m in add-ons, was rejected by Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis. Nottingham Forest countered with a demand for a minimum of £120m in guaranteed payments, according to Romano. Manchester City remain in negotiations, and it is expected that this deal will progress more quickly in the coming days. A transfer of over £120m would be the most expensive signing in Manchester City's history and Forest's most expensive sale.

According to talkSPORT, Manchester City are expected to reach an agreement with Nottingham Forest for the transfer of Elliot Anderson. A breakthrough in negotiations is believed to be close as the two clubs are not far apart on the midfielder's valuation. Manchester City will make a third bid in the coming weeks after their first two offers were rejected. The second bid was approximately €139m, but Forest desires a fee exceeding €145m to make Anderson a new Premier League record sale.

British media report that the owner of Nottingham Forest intends to negotiate up to the limit of 150 million pounds, the amount sought for midfielder Elliot Anderson.

Manchester City is targeting Elliott Anderson, and a potential move for Davide Frattesi to Nottingham Forest is dependent on the sale of Anderson.

Manchester City are optimistic about signing Elliot Anderson, according to Alex Crook. Evangelos Marinakis is handling all negotiations regarding the player without informing other senior figures at Nottingham Forest. Nottingham Forest may prefer to declare any sale after June 30.

According to The Mirror, Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubara is not seeking to start a bidding war to sign Elliot Anderson, believing their £120m offer was fair. It has been claimed that after their offer was rejected, City are considering withdrawing their interest in signing Anderson this summer, although a final decision has not yet been made.

According to the BBC, a verbal offer from Manchester City for Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson was rejected. The bid was for £106 million plus bonuses and could have risen to £120 million. According to The Athletic, Nottingham Forest is demanding a minimum of £125 million in guaranteed money, excluding bonuses.

Elliot Anderson could have been distracted by transfer talk ahead of the World Cup. England boss, Thomas Tuchel, endorsed the Nottingham Forest midfielder and commented on the situation but declined to comment on the bid specifically. Tuchel's assistant coach, Anthony Barry, spoke with Anderson about it. Tuchel stated that even if a transfer is completed, he hopes Anderson stays the same person.

Nottingham Forest are seeking a total payment of up to £130 million for the sale of Elliot Anderson to Manchester City. On Wednesday, Forest rejected a second bid from Manchester City for the player. The bid was thought to be worth £106 million plus £15 million in performance-related bonuses. It is understood that Forest are seeking an initial payment of £110 million, with up to £20 million in bonuses. Despite the rejection of two offers, there is said to be confidence that a deal will be completed. Anderson has been a primary midfield target for Manchester City for a long time.

Manchester City have made two offers for Elliot Anderson, both of which were refused by Forest chairman Evangelos Marinakis. The most recent offer was a package valued at a British record of £121m. Elliot Anderson is described as Manchester United's 'dream target', but they do not plan to compete with Manchester City on offers. United will not become involved in a competition for his signature, especially without first having the player's agreement. The cost of a deal, plus a sense that Anderson prefers Manchester City, mean Manchester United are currently pursuing other players. City have emerged as the primary club attempting to sign Anderson.

Manchester City are reportedly willing to make Elliot Anderson the most expensive English player in history, but negotiations with Nottingham Forest must continue. According to Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein of The Athletic, an offer has been made by Manchester City starting at a guaranteed $141.7 million (£106 million), rising to over $160.4 million (£120 million) with add-ons. The guaranteed portion of the proposal slightly exceeds the total value of Arsenal's 2023 agreement for Declan Rice. Nottingham Forest are thought to be seeking more guaranteed money. Ornstein cites Alexander Isak's 2025 transfer for a guaranteed $167.1 million as a benchmark, with Forest seemingly believing Anderson is worth at least that amount. Manchester City are very close to matching Nottingham Forest's valuation and do not consider $160 million too much. The primary point of disagreement is the breakdown of guaranteed money and add-ons. Forest are in a strong position as the player has a contract for three more years. From Forest's perspective, selling Anderson is not ideal.

Nottingham Forest have rejected a new offer from Manchester City for Elliot Anderson. According to David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City's new offer was close to the British record. David Ornstein reports that the total package for the offer exceeded €139 million. Forest informed City that they will not consider add-ons and require the upfront fee to be higher than Alexander Isak's record. Fabrizio Romano writes that strong interest in Anderson from Manchester United informs the club's position. After the bid was rejected, no new talks were held, but Manchester City may return. Manchester City also have alternatives. Fabrizio Romano states that if they stop pursuing Anderson, Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali could become their primary midfield target.

Manchester City has submitted a new offer for Elliot Anderson. According to The Athletic, this second proposal is valued at 123 million euros plus 17 million euros in bonuses. Nottingham Forest is reportedly demanding 140 million euros without bonuses for Anderson, who is under contract until 2029.

Manchester City and Nottingham Forest are in active discussions for a potential club record transfer for Elliot Anderson. Anderson is keen on the move to the Etihad Stadium and has made his desire to join Manchester City clear. Negotiations are understood to be for a total package of more than £100 million. Forest are seeking £105m (€121.5m, $140m), aiming to match the deal Arsenal spent for Declan Rice. City have made an offer close to £80 million up front, but Forest are maintaining their position and seeking a payment structure with significant add-ons and instalments, similar to the Rice transfer in 2023. Personal terms have already been broadly agreed with Anderson. Anderson wants a move finalised before England’s opening World Cup clash against Croatia on Wednesday, June 17. Sources revealed in early March that Anderson was keen to move to Manchester City, and the anticipated exit of Pep Guardiola as manager would not change his intentions.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City are preparing a new official offer to Nottingham Forest for Elliot Anderson. Manchester City are confident of completing the deal. Manchester United are also interested.

@lauriewhitwell and @TheAthleticFC reported that Manchester City submitted an opening offer to Nottingham Forest for Elliot Anderson, and that this offer was rejected. The pursuit remains ongoing. Club bosses spoke at a UEFA dinner last week, but there was no suggestion it was to negotiate the deal.

The Mirror reports Man Utd have conceded to Man City in the competition to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson.

Manchester City's bid to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson is reportedly moving into advanced stages. Sources indicate a deal is worth close to £100 million.

According to sources, personal terms are not expected to be an issue as an agreement in principle is already in place. Forest are understood to be prepared for his exit. Anderson is said to be excited by the prospect of joining City’s squad, viewing it as the next step in his career.

A significant difference in the valuation of Elliot Anderson exists between Manchester City and Nottingham Forest following verbal talks, according to a report from talkSPORT. The Reds want more than £100 million for the player, while the FA Cup winners apparently value him at £80m. Additionally, owner Evangelos Marinakis is said to be prepared to personally oversee any discussions regarding a potential departure for Anderson.

Fabrizio Romano reported that Manchester City are still trying to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest. According to the report, Manchester City have already made some approaches because they want to offer a significant contract to Elliot Anderson and believe they can persuade him. It was also stated that Manchester United are still trying to sign him. Manchester City remain involved, with Enzo Maresca as the new manager.

According to the BBC, Manchester City is the leading contender to sign Elliot Anderson, and the player prefers to sign for them rather than Manchester United. However, no agreement has been reached yet between Nottingham Forest and Manchester City, with the two clubs not being close to an agreement on Anderson's valuation. The transfer could become a record for a British player, surpassing the 116 million euros Arsenal paid for Declan Rice in 2023. At Nottingham Forest, it is perceived that if there is a major sale this summer, it will be Anderson. A strong performance with England at the World Cup would give Nottingham Forest a better negotiating position. The manager, Vitor Pereira, would prefer to keep Anderson, but the player is the most likely to leave, especially as Nottingham Forest will not play in European competitions next season after finishing 16th in the Premier League.

According to the BBC, Elliot Anderson will move to Manchester City. Anderson prefers a transfer to Manchester City, and the club will have to pay a substantial amount for him. The transfer fee is expected to exceed the record for a British player, which was set in 2023 when Arsenal paid 115 million euros for Declan Rice. Manchester United withdrew because the club was unwilling to pay such a high amount.

Elliot Anderson, who has been linked with Manchester United and Manchester City for a suggested £100m fee, appeared to be saying goodbye to the Reds' supporters during the game against Bournemouth on Sunday. He received a standing ovation after being replaced in the 65th minute and also took a lap of appreciation.

Manchester City are increasing their efforts to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest, and talks are underway between the two clubs. Sources state that Manchester City are increasing their efforts to finalise a deal before England departs for this summer’s World Cup in North America. Nottingham Forest will demand a record fee for Anderson. TEAMtalk understands that Nottingham Forest believes Anderson has a value at the highest end of the market. TEAMtalk also understands that Manchester City, whose sporting director is Hugo Viana, are prepared to match that valuation. Sources close to the negotiations confirmed to TEAMtalk that Manchester City are willing to exceed their own transfer record to sign Anderson. It is also understood that Nottingham Forest believes Anderson should become the most expensive English player in football history, which would be more than the £105 million Arsenal paid for Declan Rice. TEAMtalk understands that personal terms between Anderson and Manchester City have already been agreed in principle. Sources indicate that the midfielder is expected to sign a long-term, five-year contract if the clubs can reach a final agreement on the transfer fee and its structure. Manchester City's hierarchy are now making a strong effort to conclude negotiations before the tournament starts. The England coaching staff would also prefer for Anderson to resolve his club future before the tournament.

According to Nicolo Schira, an agreement in principle exists between Manchester City and Elliot Anderson for a contract until 2031. Manchester City are now working to reach an agreement with Nottingham Forest to sign the midfielder.

According to iPaper, Manchester City are still likely to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, and the managerial change at the Etihad is not expected to prevent the deal. Enzo Maresca, who is set to replace Guardiola, is understood to support the move. Other reports have suggested that Anderson is a priority for Maresca’s first squad rebuild at Man City. Manchester City have made Anderson their priority target. City are expected to refresh their squad after not winning the Premier League title, which went to Arsenal; the departures of Guardiola and Bernardo Silva mark a significant change for the club. Maresca could be provided with a significant transfer budget, and Anderson is named as a main target along with other Premier League players. It is expected that Anderson will want certainty regarding the project he joins, and City is able to offer a clear structure without Guardiola.

There is significant transfer interest in Elliot Anderson ahead of this summer. According to rumours, Forest may demand a fee exceeding €120 million to sell Anderson before the start of next season, and Manchester City is determined to sign him during the upcoming window. Anderson is regarded as the ideal midfield signing by both Manchester clubs. During his post-match press conference, Pereira provided an update on Anderson's future, stating that he does not have an answer. He said the market is the market and everything can happen, but what he can say is that the club certainly wants to keep him playing for them. Anderson has three years remaining on his current contract at the City Ground, and his Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) is just under €60m.

David Ornstein reports that Elliot Anderson is the club's most in-demand player, attracting interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City and Man Utd, but that it will be difficult to sign him.

If City were to attempt to sign Valverde, it would be difficult to justify also spending a similar amount on signing Anderson from Nottingham Forest. City had previously been named by BBC Sport as the leading contenders to sign Anderson.

According to Team Talk, Elliot Anderson is the preferred option and top midfield target for Manchester City. The club are pushing and are confident of agreeing terms with the player. The expectation is that Manchester City will approach Nottingham Forest to understand the price, with club-to-club talks expected to begin. Some outlets have pointed to a valuation for Anderson as high as £120m or £125m.

According to Team Talk, there is a potential transfer of Elliot Anderson to Liverpool, and Liverpool would have to fend off interest from both Manchester clubs if they were to sign the player.

A report has stated that a move to Manchester City for Elliot Anderson is considered a done deal after his recent performance impressed the club's transfer chief. Sources are also convinced this move is completed.

Manchester City consider Elliot Anderson important for their midfield rebuild and as a replacement for Bernardo Silva, and they are the leading contenders to sign the player. The bids from both City and United to sign Anderson have been affected by Nottingham Forest remaining in the Premier League. If Forest had been relegated, Anderson was certain to leave and would have been sold for a lower price. Since Forest will remain in the league, they can demand their asking price and control the negotiations. It is expected that Anderson could be allowed to leave for a fee of approximately £100m. City may be more willing to pay that price as their squad is in a better condition following the January window.

Vitor Pereira, the manager for Nottingham Forest, has admitted he is unable to guarantee that midfielder Elliot Anderson will remain at the club next season. Elliot Anderson is currently the subject of intense interest from Manchester City following his exceptional performances, and his valuation is reportedly £120 million.

According to Nicolo Schira, Elliot Anderson is nearing a move to Manchester City, which is preparing a significant bid to submit to Nottingham Forest to sign him.

Goal.com reports that Manchester United are reportedly unwilling to compete with Manchester City over the transfer fee for the Nottingham Forest player, Elliot Anderson.

Manchester City's players believe they have succeeded in their pursuit of Elliot Anderson. The Daily Mail reports that the players believe the 23-year-old is destined to join the club in the summer. No talks have been held over a transfer fee, and it is reported that these talks will only happen after Nottingham Forest have secured their place in the Premier League for the next season. Anderson is seen as a key part of what is predicted to be a busy transfer window for Pep Guardiola's side.

According to Sky Sports News, Manchester City is the club in the best position to sign Elliot Anderson. Other major Premier League clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal are also competing to sign him. Anderson joined Nottingham Forest from Newcastle in 2024 for 40 million euros and is under contract until 2029. Nottingham Forest is unlikely to allow Anderson to leave for less than 90 million euros. Sky Sports reports that Manchester City's goal is to finalize Anderson's signing in less than two months, before the start of the major summer tournament in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Romano added that Forest wants a record and a significant fee for the midfielder.

Manchester City and Manchester United are set to compete to sign Elliot Anderson following the conclusion of the 2025-26 season. Manchester City's interest in Anderson is linked to the imminent departure of Bernardi Silva. According to David Ornstein, Forest's intention, should they sell Anderson, is to break the Premier League transfer record for a midfielder. A very high salary would be required for the player, who earns more than £100,000 per week. Although clubs are contacting Forest, there are no formal negotiations at present. Anderson is said to be behaving impeccably by not pushing for a transfer.

It is believed that Elliot Anderson is Manchester City's primary target, and Man Utd are also pursuing the England player, but it is understood that he prefers a transfer to the Etihad. Forest are reluctant to sell and have briefed the media that Anderson will cost more than €100m. However, some reporters have claimed that mechanisms in his contract allow him to leave for significantly less.

Elliot Anderson is a primary target for Manchester United and Manchester City, and both clubs have held talks with the player's representatives. Nottingham Forest state they have not yet received any formal bids for the £100m-rated Anderson but are expecting offers before the World Cup. The Manchester Evening News recently claimed that City have agreed to a £65m deal for Anderson. Fabrizio Romano stated that nothing has been finalized or decided with any club, including in terms of the fee. Romano also said that Man City are very serious about this deal, are in conversation with the player's representatives, and have been working on this for months. City remain confident Anderson will move to the Etihad, and Forest are reportedly encouraging United and City to compete with offers.

According to Florian Plettenberg, Forest expects Elliot Anderson's destination to be either Manchester United or Manchester City if he leaves this summer, and it is reported that Arsenal and Chelsea are no longer realistic options.

Plettenberg also states that no club has made direct contact with Forest so far, and that a fee of around £100-120m is being demanded.

Graeme Bailey explained that Nottingham Forest wants competing bids and does not want anyone to think Manchester City has the deal secured.

Fabrizio Romano has indicated that a deal for Elliot Anderson is not in an advanced stage and that several factors will determine his next move. Romano said that Man City have begun working on a deal to sign the Nottingham Forest player and have initiated negotiations with his camp, but that nothing is advanced between the clubs. He explained that City want to respect Nottingham Forest's relegation battle and that the present is not the time to negotiate a transfer fee. According to Romano, it will be important to see at the end of the season if Forest are in the Championship or the Premier League in order to understand the fee and the nature of the negotiation with the Marinakis family.

Manchester City has made Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson a main priority for the summer transfer window. The club's directors are optimistic and estimate that they can conclude a deal for approximately 75 million euros. Despite interest from clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea, or Tottenham, the player has reportedly already decided in favour of Manchester City. According to the Daily Mirror, Anderson has indicated his preference for Manchester City's sporting project. Manchester City's management wants to finalize the transfer as early as possible to avoid any complications, aiming to complete the agreement before the start of the World Cup in North America.

Romano also stated that City are preparing for this move.

According to 'Teamtalk', Elliot Anderson is high on Manchester City's transfer list. The online portal names a possible transfer fee for the duo of Tonali and Anderson of nearly 220 million euros. Tonali has a contract until 2028, and Anderson has one until 2029.

Everything is at an early stage, and clubs do not have a clear answer on the player's intentions.

Elliot Anderson is considered a top target for Manchester City sporting director Hugo Viana as the futures of Bernardo Silva and Rodri are uncertain. A fee of around £100 million will likely be required to sign Anderson from the City Ground, though he may leave for less if Nottingham Forest are relegated to the Championship. Former Man City star Wayne Bridge warned that £100 million could be too much for Anderson and expressed doubts about him starting in the current City midfield.

Fabrizio Romano stated that Elliot Anderson is a significant target for Manchester City for the summer window and is high on their list of targets. Romano also stated that nothing is yet done or decided, and a potential transfer will depend on Forest, their Premier League status, the price, and the player. He also stated that Anderson is one of the players under consideration for the midfielder role. According to Romano's understanding, Anderson is in the top three, and possibly the top two, of Manchester City's targets for that position this summer.
