Manchester City and Manchester United are urged to secure an ‘early agreement’ for Nottingham Forest star Elliot Anderson. The talented midfielder has emerged as a top target for both clubs ahead of the summer transfer window. With both teams actively seeking a new defensive midfielder, Anderson is their priority.
Reports indicate that Manchester City currently holds the advantage in the race to sign him. City is preparing to lose Bernardo Silva and is in ‘pole position’ to land Anderson. However, both clubs aim to act quickly to fend off competition.
Anderson's price tag could soar to around £100 million. This figure might drop if Forest faces relegation, but it could rise to £120 million if he performs well in the World Cup. Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness discusses the urgency for an agreement before the tournament, highlighting the risk of injury that could affect his value.
Wyness emphasizes the potential for performance bonuses or clauses in the contract to protect the selling club’s interests. Securing a deal early benefits both Manchester clubs and Nottingham Forest, ensuring they maximize Anderson’s valuation. Time is of the essence as the summer window approaches.
