Manchester City seem almost certain to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson this summer. It is clear that Anderson is one of Manchester City’s primary transfer targets for the upcoming summer transfer window. Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Manchester City’s potential move for Elliot Anderson and it now seems that City are advancing in their move to sign the energetic midfielder.

Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Manchester City’s move for Elliot Anderson.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Manchester City’s bid to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest. On Manchester City’s move for Elliot Anderson, Romano said: “Man City are pushing to sign Elliot Anderson. They are in advanced talks with his agents in advanced conversations in terms of … just asking about the situation of the player.

So nothing has been agreed, nothing has been done. Nothing has been completed but I mean advanced conversations about inquiring for the player.

So Man City have been clear. They see Elliot Anderson as a target. Again, we are not yet at the stage of personal terms agreed. We are not yet at the stage of deal done. We are not yet at the stage of deal final stages, but for sure Manchester City confirmed their interest to those close to Anderson.”

Manchester United are attentive to the situation as well. Man United love the player. But at the moment Man City are pushing because in midfield Man City will be very busy as well.”

Manchester City doesn’t seem to be wasting time ahead of the summer transfer window.

Nothing Fabrizio Romano has reported is groundbreaking. It has been known for some time that Manchester City has their eyes on a move for Elliot Anderson. It would almost be a surprise if City didn’t sign the Nottingham Forest midfielder at this stage. However, what is clear is that City is not wasting any time getting their ducks in a row ahead of the summer transfer window.

This summer’s transfer window will be a complicated one. The World Cup will take place at the end of this season. Typically, the World Cup does bring the transfer market to a standstill. Players who play in the tournament do not want their focus taken away from their international duties. If Manchester City are to sign Elliot Anderson, they’ll be hoping to wrap up a deal for the energetic midfielder ahead of the World Cup. That would be ideal for City. Whether or not that is possible remains to be seen.

Manchester City look to be advancing in their bid to sign Elliot Anderson this summer. City have identified the Nottingham Forest midfielder as one of their primary transfer targets and it seems that they are wasting no time in getting ahead of the pack to land a midfielder they desperately need.
