Manchester City are reportedly ready to make Nottingham Forest midfielder and Manchester United transfer target Elliot Anderson one of their priorities for 2026. The 100m-rated England international could even be on the move this January if Forest's high asking price is met, according to the Daily Mail. Information we received recently was that Man Utd were confident over signing Anderson for considerably below that 100m fee, possibly for as little as 60m.
"Well, look, nobody knows because even the parties themselves expected to have been told by now, Borson said. All the lawyers are surprised there is no decision at this stage, and that's on both sides. I'll tell you who's holding it up - the panel making the decision. They hold the pen.

Man City are planning to sign a new right-back next summer, and their top target continues to be Newcastle's Tino Livramento.

Manchester City have set their sights on one of Germany's most promising young defenders, with Bild reporting that Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown has been added to the club's shortlist. The 22-year-old has emerged as one of the Bundesliga's best full-backs this season, continuing his rapid rise since joining Eintracht Frankfurt from FC Nurnberg in 2024.
