Nottingham Forest's Elliott Anderson (23) is emerging as a 'precious body'.

According to the British media 'Daily Mail' on the 29th (Korea time), Manchester City has begun to show extraordinary interest in recruiting Anderson.

Anderson is already known to be receiving love calls from Manchester United and Liverpool, Manchester City's competitors, and his value is expected to increase.

The positive rating for Anderson has been hitting a close recently. The England national team, which was reorganized under Thomas Tuchel, won all eight games in the European qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup. With 22 goals and no goals lost, he is showing perfect performance on both sides of offense and defense.

Anderson is at the center of the change in English football. Anderson, who played as a striker for Newcastle, is a midfielder in Forest but has shown his presence with a wide range of performances covering the front and back lines.

Not only the national team but also its team is receiving a lot of trust from the coach.

Anderson, who moved to Nottingham Forest in July last year on the condition of a five-year contract and a transfer fee of 35 million euros, won the Player of the Month award twice in the 2024-2025 season, receiving enthusiastic support from fans.

However, he has suffered two managerial changes this season, and the team is also moving around in the bottom of the EPL in 16th place.

Rumors of a transfer continue to follow due to the team's failure to keep up with player Anderson's personal ability. Earlier this year, rumors of a transfer to Liverpool came out after half a season of joining Forest.

Manchester City, led by Guardiola, are interested in acquiring Anderson. The club's leaders, including the manager, have a high regard for Anderson, according to the report.

It is said that the scout of the Manchester City club was already watching Forest's game.

Manchester City reportedly set aside 80 million pounds (about 155.6 billion won) for Anderson's transfer. Manchester City's eye on Anderson was due to the consideration of Bernardu Silva's transfer.

Silva, who serves as the midfield commander, has played for Manchester City since 2017, but is preparing to move to Benfica after the end of this season. In the end, Anderson, who has a similar playing style to Silva, has emerged as the best alternative for Manchester City.
