English players are genuinely valuable, especially talented young English players who have already proven themselves in the Premier League, making them even more prized. For instance, Nottingham Forest's 23-year-old English midfielderElliot Anderson.
Rodri has only one year left with Manchester City, and with this Spanish Ballon d'Or-winning midfielder's performance declining significantly, Manchester City needs to find a new successor for Rodri. On the Manchester United side, Casemiro's contract expires at the end of this season, and he will leave, with Ugarte also likely to depart this summer. Therefore, Manchester United needs to find a new successor for Casemiro. Both Manchester clubs have included Anderson in their midfield reinforcement targets for this summer's transfer window, giving Nottingham Forest a chance to make a substantial profit.
According to the latest news from German Sky Sports, Nottingham Forest already knows that several top Premier League clubs are interested in Anderson. The club has set a price tag for this 23-year-old English midfielder exceeding £100 million, even reaching up to £120 million. Currently, Manchester City and Manchester United are actively preparing for the remaining matches of this season. Manchester City aims to win the FA Cup and Premier League titles, while Manchester United needs to secure a Champions League spot for next season. The two Manchester clubs have not yet made formal contact, but both have already included Anderson in their summer recruitment lists.

Anderson came from Newcastle's youth academy. In the summer transfer window of 2024, he moved from Newcastle to Nottingham Forest for a transfer fee of €41.2 million, embarking on his path as a Premier League homegrown star. His outstanding performances in the Premier League have attracted attention from several Big Six clubs.

Anderson is currently 23 years old, stands 1.79 meters tall, is a right-footed player, and can play as a midfielder, attacking midfielder, or defensive midfielder. His contract with Nottingham Forest runs until 2029. His Transfermarkt valuation is €60 million. So far this season, he has played 41 matches across all competitions, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists. He will also represent England in the 2026 USA-Canada-Mexico World Cup.
