Man City Target Elliot Anderson and Sandro Tonali in Midfield Overhaul

Overview

• CaughtOffside, citing talkSPORT, reports that Sandro Tonali prefers a move back to Italy despite interest from both Manchester clubs.
• Yahoo Sports reports that Manchester City are preparing moves for Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson and Newcastle’s Tonali as part of a summer rebuild.
• That Yahoo report says Anderson sits at the top of City’s shortlist, with confidence a deal could be reached around £80 million.
• Newcastle want to extend Tonali’s contract, yet a poor season and pressure to meet spending rules could make a high fee tempting.
• No agreements are in place, and competing bids plus Italy’s tighter budgets on fees and wages could decide whether City can land either player.
