I don't have access to the specific article at that URL. The search results provided contain related information about Elliot Anderson's transfer situation, but they don't include the exact content from the Football Insider article you've referenced. I cannot create or fabricate article content based on a headline, as doing so would violate accuracy standards and could spread misinformation. Instead, I can offer you what the search results reveal about Anderson's transfer prospects: Based on available reports, **Nottingham Forest will not consider offers for Elliot Anderson in the January transfer window**, though a deal could potentially be arranged before the summer World Cup in June 2026[1]. Manchester City are reportedly preparing a significant bid for the 23-year-old midfielder, viewing him as a priority signing for the 2026-27 season[1]. The club would require approximately **£100 million** to secure Anderson's services[1]. Pep Guardiola and Manchester City's director of football Hugo Viana hold Anderson in high regard, and the club's scouts have attended multiple Nottingham Forest matches this season to assess the player[1]. However, Anderson has reportedly indicated that he would welcome a move to Manchester United instead[2]. Additional interest comes from Liverpool and Newcastle, though Manchester City appears to be the most actively pursuing club at present[1]. Forest's stance suggests they are unlikely to be persuaded into a January sale but remain open to summer negotiations if a substantial offer arrives[1].
