Man City not giving up on Elliot Anderson but eye Sandro Tonali as alternative after Nottingham Forest reject initial bid

Forest are holding a firm line on their valuation, reportedly seeking a fee in the region of £100 million. The East Midlands club are using Declan Rice’s record-breaking £105m move to Arsenal as the primary benchmark for any deal. City, however, view Anderson as the perfect profile to revitalise a midfield that surrendered the Premier League title to Mikel Arteta's Gunners last season. With the England international set for a starring role at the upcoming World Cup, City are keen to act quickly before his price tag potentially soars higher.
