Overview
- Fabrizio Romano reported on Monday that Manchester City are preparing a new official bid for Elliot Anderson and feel confident they can complete a deal.
- Nottingham Forest rejected an earlier opening offer from City earlier this month and have been valuing the midfielder at around or north of £100 million.
- Manchester United remain interested in Anderson, but multiple outlets say City are the frontrunners and that Anderson prefers a move to the Etihad.
- Anderson is under contract with Nottingham Forest until 2029 and head coach Vitor Pereira has said the club want to keep him while accepting they cannot control the market.
- With the transfer window opening on June 15 and England's World Cup campaign about to start, clubs face pressure to act quickly and a strong tournament showing could push Anderson's price higher.
