Real Madrid is reportedly planning a raid on Nottingham Forest to get TWO stars in a double deal worth €130 million.

Elliot Anderson, a midfielder for Nottingham Forest, has reportedly caught the attention of Real Madrid, as reported by a Spanish source. This source also disclosed that Los Blancos are interested in luring Murillo away from the City Ground.

David Alaba, who is prone to injuries, and Antonio Rudiger, who is out of contract at the conclusion of the season, are both candidates for the position of center defender, and it has been well reported that Madrid wants to recruit a new center back in 2026. After the conclusion of the current season, the France international defender Ibrahima Konate will no longer be under contract with Liverpool. As a result, Real Madrid is reportedly interested in signing him as their number one center back target.

On the other hand, Madrid is not putting all of their eggs in one basket. On October 13, Defensa Central reported that Murillo, a defender for Nottingham Forest, is also on the radar of Los Blancos. The chief scout for Real Madrid, Juan Calafat, is quoted as saying that he “believes” that “Murillo would be a valuable asset to improve Madrid’s defensive core.” Forest is reportedly expecting to receive €60 million (£52 million, $70 million) in exchange for the 23-year-old Brazil international defender.

At this time, Defensa Central has asserted that Madrid is also considering Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson as a potential player.

The news outlet that focuses on Real Madrid was quoted as saying that Calafat is following Anderson and has a great deal of admiration for him.

For the former Newcastle United midfielder, who is also being pursued by Liverpool and Manchester United, Forest will ask for €70 million (£61 million, $81 million). There is also interest from Manchester United and Liverpool.

According to reports, Madrid is interested in signing a midfielder who “can help create play.” Although Adam Wharton is the top priority for Los Blancos, the Spanish and European giants would look to get Anderson if they are unable to bring the Crystal Palace player to the Santiago Bernabeu. TEAMtalk has been informed by sources that Nottingham Forest value Anderson at £75 million (€86 million, $100 million), and the Premier League club is aware that they are in a great position to take advantage of this opportunity.

Forest would be in a position to benefit from a bidding battle given that Liverpool, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are also interested in Anderson.

According to Dean Jones, a transfer insider for TEAMtalk, “His profile has been raised significantly recently, and Forest are aware that they are in a strong situation.”

With the number of teams that are now showing interest in him, it is very obvious to see that his market value is now twice as much as what they paid for him. They only signed him for a fee of thirty-five million pounds.

Because it is in Forest’s best interest for a bidding war to break out, they will not be concerned by the fact that so many teams are linked to him at this time, despite the fact that they want him to remain with them.

As a result of the fact that so much of it is speculation, it is too soon to know exactly how many clubs will actually try to sign him before it is too late.

I am aware that City and Chelsea have been doing a lot of talking about each other recently, but I am not hearing a lot about those clubs.

There is no doubt that Manchester United is interested in Newcastle, and I believe that Newcastle is a more interesting option than an active one at the moment.
