Fabrizio Romano reports that Manchester United and Manchester City are holding off on moves for Sandro Tonali and Elliot Anderson until three key factors are resolved. United targets at least one new midfielder this summer after a lackluster previous transfer window. With Casemiro announcing his departure at season's end and potential interest in selling Manuel Ugarte, the urgency is clear.
Rumors swirl around City possibly losing Rodri to Real Madrid, intensifying their need for midfield reinforcements. Both clubs eye Tonali from Newcastle and Anderson from Nottingham Forest as top targets. Romano emphasizes it’s premature to predict their next destinations, but Anderson seems more likely to join City, while United has strong interest in Tonali.
Romano also mentions that contact with Tonali’s camp has occurred this year, despite previous reports suggesting United's interest was dormant. Arsenal has also inquired about Tonali, but City prioritizes Anderson, especially with Bernardo Silva’s exit on the horizon.
Currently, United isn’t inclined to overspend on Tonali but remains interested if the price is right. Both clubs have genuine interest in the duo, but significant decisions are still pending. The race continues as the summer transfer window approaches.
