Elliot Anderson's transfer to Manchester City may face delays
Summary

Negotiations for Elliot Anderson's move to Manchester City are ongoing, with Nottingham Forest's owner Evangelos Marinakis personally handling discussions. A recent £106 million bid from City, plus £15 million in bonuses, was deemed unacceptable by Marinakis, who seeks around £130 million in total. Further complicating the situation is Forest's preference to delay the formalization of the deal until July for financial reasons. While City remains confident in closing the transfer, clarity on the financial terms and timing is still needed before any agreement can be finalized.
