Nottingham Forest is preparing to break the Premier League transfer record for a midfielder by potentially selling Elliot Anderson to Manchester City. City has identified the 23-year-old as their top target for the summer transfer window, especially as they plan for the departure of club captain Bernardo Silva. Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is expected to negotiate with Manchester City executives, who are keen to secure Anderson's signature. Currently under contract until 2029, Anderson has reportedly given his representatives the go-ahead to facilitate the move.
