🚨 Manchester City have made a bid totalling £121m for Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest. Guaranteed fee is £106m.
Nottingham Forest are now asking for a British transfer record fee.
#MCFC wanted to bid before the World Cup fearing Anderson’s price could rise further at the tournament.
Manchester United view the cost as too high despite seeing Anderson as their dream target. They are in talks with Matheus Fernandes. Alex Scott and Carlos Baleba remain other names on their radar.
Little old Nottingham Forest rejecting a £120m for a player 😭😭
Hate him all you want but Marinakis doing this and what he did with Gibbs-White last summer, will only benefit and prove to teams outside the top 6 that they don’t have to bend over for the ‘big teams’.
Elliot Anderson had the most:
⚽️ Touches
⚔️ Duels won
🤝 Possession won
✅ Successful passes
💥 Line breaking passes
Of all Premier League midfielders this season 🥇
Look on the bright side Nuno, you may have thrown away the best squad you’ve ever touched, you may have got relegated once again, you may lost the love of the only fanbase that liked you.
But at least you got to re-sign Adama Traoré.

The only player included in Tuchel's England squad is Madueke... 😬
The highest scoring English player in the Premier League. One of two English players to be nominated for Premier League Player of the Season.
Morgan Gibbs-White has been truly fucked over.
We had European football after an unbelievable season, you were adored by everyone.
But you chose to throw your toys out the pram, slag the owner off to the media and thought the grass was greener on the other side.
Turns out we had the last laugh 🤷🏻 #NFFC
Morgan Gibbs-White has to be in the England squad named on Friday. He’s the most in form No.10 & has a connection with Elliot Anderson that is unlike many others in the PL.
Nottingham Forest are staying up.
Another bonkers rollercoaster season with 4 managers, a European semi-final & safety secured with only 2 games left. Some difficult moments, but job done.
Real chance that the manager who got them into Europe could now be relegated #nffc 🎢
