"I have to be honest, for several weeks now, from numerous sources, I am told that Anderson to City is a done deal. City have been on Anderson for months, since last year. I am told Hugo Viana picked him out last summer as one he wanted. In football circles, the belief is that Anderson is only going to one place and that is City."
"Whilst City and Forest are not confirming anything, I think that whilst nothing is signed, Anderson knows where he will be playing next season and that will be the Etihad. The report adds that Forest want 90m for Anderson, so that could be the sort of fee City are set to pay for the 23-year-old."
"It perhaps makes sense for MCFC to make Anderson an urgent priority as they look like they could do with a long-term replacement for Rodri, who has had injury problems in recent times, while Anderson looks to be leaning towards joining City over Man United."
Elliot Anderson, an England international midfielder at Nottingham Forest, is reportedly close to joining Manchester City in a deal valued around £90 million. According to multiple sources, City has been pursuing Anderson for months, with Hugo Viana identifying him as a target last summer. Anderson recently demonstrated his quality by scoring against City in a 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium. While neither City nor Forest have officially confirmed the transfer, reports suggest Anderson is leaning towards joining City over Manchester United. City views Anderson as a long-term replacement for Rodri, who has experienced recent injury issues.
