Manchester City restructures bid for Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson

Manchester City is modifying its bid for Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson by introducing a bonus structure that is easier for Forest to achieve. Two previous offers totaling £106 million plus £15 million in bonuses were rejected, with Forest seeking a package around £130 million. Personal terms with Anderson are reportedly already agreed, and he has permission to undergo a medical with City. The changes aim to satisfy Forest’s valuation without increasing the guaranteed fee, as City looks to finalize the deal amidst competition having diminished following Manchester United's withdrawal from negotiations.
