Manchester City is reportedly preparing a fresh offer for Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson as they aim to finalize one of the summer's biggest transfers.

According to journalist Nicolo Schira, City plans to submit a new bid in the region of €135m-€140m to reach an agreement with Forest. Personal terms are already believed to be settled on a contract extending until 2031, and Anderson is eager to make the move to City as soon as possible.

This deal appears increasingly serious, with City having worked on the transfer for several weeks. Recent reports from talkSPORT indicated that Forest had previously rejected a package worth £106m plus £15m in add-ons.

Nottingham Forest remains in a strong negotiating position, fully aware of City’s determination. Anderson has emerged as one of the most valuable English players following a stellar season and impressive World Cup performances. The Sun reported that Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is personally engaged in the negotiations and is seeking a record-level fee, which may compel City to increase their offer even further.

For City, acquiring Anderson is not just about adding depth to their midfield. He would bring energy, ball-winning ability, physicality, and progressive carrying—qualities essential for City as they look to refresh their squad. With City appearing confident, the player keen on the transfer, and personal terms not posing a concern, the final question remains whether Forest will accept a massive bid that could significantly impact the Premier League transfer market.
