Manchester City continues its youth policy. The team's management intends to further intensify the process of generational change, which began on January 20 with the arrival of Abdukodir Khusanov.
According to reports, Pep Guardiola has achieved great success in recent seasons, but aims to gradually replace older players with a new generation. Another name that caught the Spanish coach's attention was Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson.
According to sources at Transfer News Live and Daily Express, the Citizens' management is prepared to spend approximately €87 million on the 22-year-old English talent. This amount is considered a significant offer for Nottingham Forest, but they are not in a hurry to sell the player yet.
Anderson made his debut for the England national team in September of this year, and it is said that acquiring him will not be easy. Manchester City will have to compete in the transfer market with strong rivals like Chelsea and Manchester United.
For information, Elliot Anderson was previously trained at the Newcastle United academy and has been playing for Nottingham Forest since the summer of 2024.
The current contract between the central midfielder and the club runs until mid-2029. Transfermarkt experts estimate his market value at €32 million, but Guardiola sees great potential in him.
City's reforms indicate that Guardiola is rebuilding the team for the future. This line, which began with Abduqodir Husanov, is expected to continue with young and active players like Elliot Anderson.
Thus, Manchester City has entered the race for another young talent during the summer transfer window - this struggle is important not only financially but also strategically.
