Manchester City targets Nottingham's Elliot Anderson and Newcastle's Sandro Tonali
Summary

Manchester City has had a second bid rejected for Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, but expectations remain high for his signing this summer. Meanwhile, City is also interested in Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali, although his valuation approaches £100 million. Reports suggest that City would need to offload some players to afford both midfielders, as Anderson's transfer could set a new record for the Premier League. Analysts question whether Tonali fits the playing style of City's incoming coach, Enzo Maresca, despite his notable skill set. The coming weeks may shed light on City's midfield strategy.
