Overview
- United are monitoring the Nottingham Forest midfielder for a potential summer bid as they prepare for midfield changes with Casemiro expected to leave, according to The Times.
- Forest’s stance, reported by The Telegraph, is that Anderson will not be sold in January and that any deal would need to meet a valuation of around £100m.
- Anderson is under contract until 2029 with no buy-back or sell-on clauses for Newcastle, giving Forest strong leverage.
- His emergence as an England regular — starting five of the past six games — has intensified interest from Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester City and Chelsea, though reports question Newcastle’s ability to meet the price.
- Nottingham Forest head coach Sean Dyche said transfer decisions rest with the club’s hierarchy, while separate, lightly sourced reports suggesting a much lower fee for United remain uncorroborated.
