A potential mega-transfer is apparently off the table: an England star is repeatedly being discussed at FC Bayern – but the financial dimensions are probably beyond the scope
FC Bayern are still discussing potential additions to their midfield, particularly with a view to a possible shake-up in the summer. The name Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest has also recently been mentioned in connection with the record champions
However, a transfer of the 23-year-old hardly seems realistic at present. Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg made the situation clear and referred above all to the financial framework conditions: „These are the price segments, Bayern are out of it.“
The background to this is the enormous sums being discussed for Anderson, with Nottingham Forest demanding between 100 and 120 million pounds for the England midfielder
A figure that even FC Bayern can hardly afford – especially for a player who has developed strongly but is not yet among the absolute world elite
Great interest from the Premier League
While Bayern appear to have backed away early on, interest from the Premier League remains high, with Manchester United in particular still considered a serious candidate to sign the player
According to the report, Manchester City are also interested in Anderson, but are currently focusing on other personnel such as Rodri’s contract extension
No concrete offers have yet been made, but Nottingham expect the transfer poker to come to a head in the coming months
For FC Bayern, this means that the search for potential reinforcements in midfield continues – albeit in other price categories
Those responsible are not only relying on external solutions, but also on their own talents and existing options in the squad.
