MU will find it difficult to sign Anderson in January 2026. |
According to The Athletic , the chances of the deal happening in January 2026 are almost zero. Nottingham Forest are unwilling to sell a key player mid-season, while Anderson is not putting pressure on them to leave. Furthermore, his contract runs until 2029, giving Forest full control over the decision.
Financial issues are also a major obstacle. Forest's asking price is reportedly in the range of £80-100 million. This is a figure that is difficult for MU to achieve, considering the Financial Sustainability and Profitability Regulation (PSR), along with their current wage bill and squad structure.
The situation could change in the summer. Journalist David Ornstein says that after the 2026 World Cup, a fierce bidding war is likely to erupt. Although there is no release clause, Forest understands that they may be forced to sit down at the negotiating table if they receive a sufficiently substantial offer.
Anderson is currently experiencing the best period of his career. Since joining Nottingham Forest, the 23-year-old has quickly risen to become one of the best midfielders in the Premier League thanks to his energetic, all-around, and effective playing style in both attack and defense.
Under manager Thomas Tuchel, Anderson immediately made an impact and earned six caps for the "Three Lions". Experts believe he is almost certain to secure one of the two central midfield positions in the England squad heading into the 2026 World Cup in North America.
