The Cityzens is said to be a strong admirer of the midfielder, but Forest have no intention of selling one of their key players cheaply and are demanding a huge fee before considering any negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>City&#8217;s opening move meets resistance Man City have reportedly\u00a0identified Anderson as a key target\u00a0as they look to refresh their options in the middle of the park. The Cityzens is believed to value the 23-year-old&#8217;s versatility, energy and ability to fit into the club&#8217;s demanding tactical system. The Manchester club see Anderson as a player with the potential to develop into a long-term asset. However, according to\u00a0<em>The Athletic<\/em>, their initial approach has been knocked back by Forest, who are determined to retain one of the most important members of Vitor Pereira&#8217;s squad. The club are not under pressure to sell and have made it clear that Anderson is not available at a discount.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/en\/category\/transfers\/1\/k94w8e1yy9ch14mllpf4srnks\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GettyImages-2273049274.jpg-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-409637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GettyImages-2273049274.jpg-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GettyImages-2273049274.jpg-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GettyImages-2273049274.jpg-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GettyImages-2273049274.jpg-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GettyImages-2273049274.jpg.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Forest demands huge costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forest have reportedly informed City that it would take a mammoth offer to bring them to the negotiating table. Having invested heavily in Anderson, the club regard him as a central figure in their long-term plans. The club&#8217;s hierarchy are said to be prepared to resist interest from wealthier rivals unless their valuation is met in full. The reported stance also serves as a message to other clubs that Anderson will only leave for a premium fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why Anderson has become such a sought-after target <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Anderson&#8217;s stock has risen rapidly since his move from Newcastle. The midfielder has established himself as a regular starter at Forest and has earned praise for his ability to drive forward from deep positions as well as his intensity out of possession. In the 2025-26 season, the 23-year-old appeared in all 38 Premier League matches, starting 37 of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">His development has reportedly attracted growing attention, with him also being named in Thomas Tuchel&#8217;s\u00a0England squad for the 2026 World Cup. For City, he represents more than just a short-term addition, with the club viewing him as a potential future midfield leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GettyImages-2269361337.jpg-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-409638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GettyImages-2269361337.jpg-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GettyImages-2269361337.jpg-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GettyImages-2269361337.jpg-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GettyImages-2269361337.jpg-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GettyImages-2269361337.jpg.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Decision time for City<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">City must now decide whether to return with an improved offer or shift their focus to\u00a0alternative midfield targets. While Anderson fits the profile the club is reportedly looking for, Forest&#8217;s asking price could test City&#8217;s willingness to proceed with the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Forest, the priority remains maintaining stability and retaining key players. Anderson remains at the City Ground for now, but interest from one of Europe&#8217;s biggest clubs means the situation could continue to develop as the transfer window progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester City&#8217;s opening attempt to sign Elliot Anderson has reportedly been rejected by Nottingham Forest.
