Overview
- Multiple outlets report Manchester City are in pole position to sign the 23-year-old England midfielder, with Manchester United and Arsenal still in pursuit.
- Owner Evangelos Marinakis is reported to value Anderson at about £125m, a price that would match the Premier League record and set a new high for a British player.
- Fabrizio Romano says City are prepared to make a very important financial proposal to the player, while no agreement with Nottingham Forest has been reached.
- The timing of any deal remains uncertain around the summer World Cup, where Anderson is expected to have a major role for England.
- City’s push reflects planned changes in midfield, with Bernardo Silva confirmed to leave and questions over other options in Pep Guardiola’s squad.
