Nottingham Forest has turned down an initial bid from Manchester City regarding midfielder Elliot Anderson. Anderson, who is anticipated to depart the ‘City Ground’ this summer, is reportedly targeting a transfer to Manchester City’s rivals, Manchester United, rather than remaining in the city’s current Manchester-based club. Anderson had a strong season with Nottingham Forest, featuring in 50 appearances.
His notable performances contributed to his selection for the England national team squad for the World Cup, under the management of Thomas Tuchel. English media reports indicate that Manchester City presented a substantial opening offer for Anderson’s services during a private gathering hosted by UEFA, which included directors from both clubs. However, Nottingham Forest has declined this initial bid.
The transfer negotiations are ongoing, with Anderson’s future at the club uncertain as the summer transfer window approaches. The rejection of the initial Manchester City offer suggests that the negotiations are continuing, with Anderson reportedly focused on a move to a different English club.
