Manchester United Could Pocket Millions if Anthony Elanga Joins Newcastle United
As the transfer window draws to a close, Manchester United could be set to benefit from a hefty sum if Anthony Elanga joins Newcastle United. The Sweden international has been a standout performer for Nottingham Forest, notching five goals and nine assists in 39 games last season.
According to Sky reporter Keith Downie, Newcastle have already held talks with Forest over a potential deal worth over £35 million. This figure could rise to £20 million over the next few years based on performances, with United also inserting a sell-on clause in the deal.
Elanga joined Forest from Manchester United last summer for an initial £15 million, and his impressive form has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs. However, Forest are understood to be in no rush to let him leave, with the club lacking time to bring in a suitable replacement.
Speaking to BBC East Midlands Today, Elanga expressed his gratitude to be at the City Ground, stating: "I’ve always said I’m not the finished article, I can always improve and get better. This is why I’m grateful to be here at Nottingham Forest because it gives me the opportunity to grow as a player and a person."
If Elanga does make the move to Newcastle, Manchester United could be set to pocket a significant sum. The sell-on clause would see them earn a decent percentage of the transfer fee, potentially exceeding £5 million.
It remains to be seen whether Elanga will make the switch to Newcastle, but one thing is certain – Manchester United will be keeping a close eye on the situation. Will Elanga be plying his trade in the Premier League come next season? Only time will tell.
