UEFA Champions League
Real Madrid is closely monitoring the situation of Elliot Anderson amid Manchester City's situation and the possibility of completing his signing in the upcoming transfer windows. The main objective of Real Madrid's transfer market is to strengthen their midfield.
The club's board aims to acquire a creative profile in the playmaking area, a request made by coach José Mourinho during the last summer transfer window, taking advantage of the potential departures resulting from the disciplinary issue in Manchester.

Elliot Anderson's Profile and José Mourinho's Squad Demands
The 23-year-old midfielder joined Manchester City during the summer transfer window of 2026 in a transfer deal worth €116 million, signing a long-term contract until June 2031. His current market value on Transfermarkt stands at €110.00 million, supported by 18 senior caps with the England national team.
Mourinho had requested an orchestrator for the midfield in the previous summer transfer window but did not secure that addition. The club's sporting direction believes that the tactical characteristics of the British international fit the scheme outlined by the Portuguese coach.
Competition in the Premier League for Elliot Anderson
Real Madrid is not the only team monitoring the player's progress at Etihad Stadium. Both Arsenal and Manchester United are gathering information to assess if Manchester City will need to sell players following the regulator's verdict.
The willingness of Real Madrid to pursue the operation will depend on the departure conditions set by the English leadership in the coming months. Real Madrid analysts will closely watch Elliot Anderson's performances during October and November 2026.
If Manchester City's sanction is confirmed and the player is willing to change leagues, Real Madrid will go all out for his signing to strengthen their midfield and fulfill Mourinho's wishes.
