Man City Linked With £75m Move for Forest’s Elliot Anderson as Swap Option Is Floated

Fresh reports point to a £75m price tag, with a finance adviser suggesting a release clause could simplify any move.

Overview

  • Football Insider quotes former Manchester City adviser Stefan Borson raising the possibility of a release clause in Elliot Anderson’s Nottingham Forest contract.
  • Borson also suggests City could structure a player-plus-cash deal, referencing prior Rico Lewis talks and Josh McAtee’s move to Forest.
  • The Mirror reports Manchester United are pursuing Anderson after exploring Carlos Baleba, with Chelsea also credited with interest.
  • No formal bids or negotiations have been disclosed, and Forest are expected to demand a substantial fee with Anderson under contract until 2029.
  • The 22-year-old joined Forest from Newcastle for about £35m in 2024 and has since made four senior England appearances.
