Nottingham Forest Set 'Record' Elliot Anderson Price Tag After Second City Bid
Forest have rejected a £106 million bid plus add-ons and want a British transfer-record fee with more money guaranteed up front.
- Nottingham Forest rejected Manchester City's £106 million bid for midfielder Elliot Anderson this week, insisting on a higher guaranteed fee despite performance-related add-ons in the proposal.
- The Tricky Trees value Anderson at £120 million before bonuses and insist on a British transfer record fee, having previously rejected a £85 million bid from City for the 23-year-old.
- City's offer aimed to eclipse Arsenal's £105 million record fee paid to West Ham for Declan Rice in 2023, though Liverpool's £125 million acquisition of Alexander Isak remains the current British transfer record.
- Manchester United have also shown interest in Anderson, though City remains the frontrunner. City are monitoring Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali as a potential alternative should the deal fail.
- Reinforcing the midfield is a priority for City this summer following Bernardo Silva's departure. Anderson, under contract at the City ground until 2029, is reportedly keen on moving to the Etihad Stadium.
