Elliot Anderson Transfer from Nottingham Forest to Newcastle United
Transfer insider Florian Plettenberg corroborated that Newcastle are considering re-signing the 22-year-old. According to Plettenberg, Nottingham Forest have an asking price of €115m-€137m (£100m-£120m) for the midfielder. It is doubtful that Newcastle would be able to afford him in 2026. Anderson does not have a release clause in his contract, which is valid until 2029, and Forest will have no obligation to sell in 2026. It is said that Newcastle have already officially registered their interest in Anderson.
According to iNews, Newcastle United are considering bringing Elliot Anderson back from Nottingham Forest, and he could cost up to £55m.
Pete O’Rourke of Football Insider revealed that Nottingham Forest have no plans to sell Anderson anytime soon, as they see him as someone that can help them climb the Premier League table over the coming months. It is unlikely that both clubs would be able to get him for lower than £70m.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe admitted he would love to have Elliot Anderson back. Howe revealed that Newcastle have no buy-back or clause advantages and that it will be an open market if they move for the player.
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has revealed to The Telegraph that he would love to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest in the future. Howe stated that he does not know if the player will come back but that from his perspective, he would love him to. The 22-year-old left Newcastle for financial reasons, and Newcastle are keen on bringing him back to the club. The player could be tempted to return to his boyhood club.
TBR Football claims that Newcastle are also keen on taking Anderson back. The outlet reports that Forest have issued a hands-off warning to any clubs interested in Anderson ahead of the January window. Graeme Bailey revealed that Forest have no intention of entertaining any interest in Anderson and want him to be a cornerstone to Ange Postecoglou's team going forward.
Elliot Anderson, currently at Nottingham Forest, might return to Newcastle, who sold him for 40 million euros last summer. Nottingham Forest wants to extend his contract to ward off interest.
Newcastle United transferred Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest to meet financial regulations at the beginning of the season. Discussions have occurred regarding the possibility of Newcastle attempting to re-sign him in the future. A report from Daily Mail indicated that Newcastle lacks a buyback clause for Anderson and would need to pay a premium to reacquire him. Nottingham Forest reportedly paid approximately £35 million for Anderson. It appears very unlikely that Newcastle will be able to re-sign him soon, as Nottingham Forest is expected to seek a substantial profit due to his recent performances.
