The transfer pursuit remains active as the Premier League champions assess options to strengthen their midfield ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that talks are ongoing despite Forest’s firm valuation, which has complicated City’s attempts to accelerate the deal.
As discussions continue, AC Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali has emerged as a strong alternative target should City fail to secure Anderson’s signature.
Tonali, who has rebuilt his reputation in Serie A, is also attracting interest from Arsenal, adding another layer of competition to the potential transfer race.
Arsenal’s reported interest in the Italian international could set up a direct battle between two Premier League heavyweights if City decide to proceed with a move.
