Manchester City are frontrunners to sign Nottingham Forest center Elliott Anderson. The BBC reports this.

According to Dzherel, the 23-year-old English midfielder gives priority to moving to the local camp, and not to Manchester United, which also shows interest in the footballer.

It appears that the Manchester United management is not ready to overpay for the driver or get involved in negotiations with Nottingham Forest. Currently, Manchester City continues to actively pursue a possible transfer.

In fact, the clubs have not yet achieved home ownership before the transition, and their assessments of the player’s worth vary greatly.

Negotiations are difficult, and the situation may change quickly in the coming years.

Anderson's potential transfer is set to break the record for the transfer of a British footballer. The sum could exceed ?105 million, as Arsenal paid West Gem for Declan Rice in 2023.

Nottingham Forest understand that Anderson himself is a leading candidate for the big sales of this summer, especially since the thirsty player was able to show himself in the England team at the upcoming World Cup.
