Elliot Anderson is being pursued by both Manchester City and Manchester United for a summer move. The Nottingham Forest midfielder, aged 23 and experienced in the Premier League, is reportedly leaning toward joining Manchester City rather than Manchester United. United is not expected to engage in a prolonged transfer saga or a bidding war, especially if the fee could exceed the British record set by Declan Rice’s 2023 move to Arsenal for £105 million. City and Forest still hold significantly different valuations, and negotiations have not produced a near agreement. Anderson could remain at Forest, join United, or another club could enter and secure the transfer.
"According to BBC, both Manchester City and Manchester United are pushing to sign Elliot Anderson this summer, but the Nottingham Forest midfielder is leaning towards the Etihad as his destination, rather than Old Trafford."
"As for United, they're not willing to enter into a long saga or a bidding war - it is believed that the transfer fee might surpass the record for a British player set by Declan Rice's move from West Ham at Arsenal in 2023, which amounted to a total of £105million."
"However, City and Forest are still far apart in their respective valuations of the player, and though the negotiations are ongoing, no agreement appears close. Therefore, every possibility is still on the table - Anderson could stay at Forest, he could go to United, or a third club might move in and snatch him away."
