Overview
- Manchester City are reported to be readying a new bid worth about €135–140m after two earlier offers were turned down by Nottingham Forest.
- Journalists say personal terms with Elliot Anderson have been agreed on a contract through 2031 and City want to conclude the deal as negotiations enter final stages.
- Nottingham Forest and owner Evangelos Marinakis are holding out for roughly £130m in guaranteed fees, a sum that would break the British transfer record.
- Anderson is concentrating on England’s World Cup campaign and has said he is blocking out transfer talk, with clubs discussing the possibility of a medical in the United States to fit tournament commitments.
- Anderson’s rise since a £35m move to Forest in 2024 and his strong World Cup debut have pushed his market value higher and could reshape the domestic transfer market if Forest’s valuation is met.
