Forest Set to Block January Exit for Elliot Anderson as Man City and United Track Move

Reports point to a summer bidding fight, with Nottingham Forest expected to lift a valuation already near £100m.

Overview

  • Football Insider reports there is no chance of a January transfer, citing Anderson’s importance to Forest’s season and plans to revisit interest in the summer.
  • Forest’s price is described around £100m and could be raised next summer, with some reports suggesting strong England displays may push it higher.
  • Anderson is reported to prefer Manchester City over Manchester United when he eventually leaves the City Ground.
  • Pundit Dean Saunders has urged United to act, arguing the 23-year-old would be a “special” addition as the club assesses midfield reinforcements.
  • Anderson is under contract with Forest until June 2029, giving the club significant leverage, and no formal bids have been reported.
