Anthony Elanga transfer Nottingham Forest 2025 speculation has reignited as Premier League business resumes this week. With the window officially reopening, Nottingham Forest are bracing for fresh offers—particularly from Newcastle United. After qualifying for the UEFA Conference League, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side face a new summer dilemma: hold onto their most explosive attacker, or cash in if a mega offer lands.
Elanga has thrived at the City Ground since joining from Manchester United and continues to attract elite suitors. Newcastle, who failed with a deadline day approach last year, are reportedly back at the table—and this time, with serious intent.
Newcastle Reignite Interest After Previous Rebuff
Newcastle United’s interest in Anthony Elanga is nothing new. The Magpies failed with a £35m bid in 2024 and know Forest won’t be easily persuaded this time either. Eddie Howe is still an admirer, but reports suggest the club would have to “blow Forest out of the water” to make progress.
“There is a lot of talk… The most important thing is that I focus on what I can control.” — Anthony Elanga
Forest’s £60m Price Tag Sends Message
Forest are under no financial pressure to sell. Elanga, along with Morgan Gibbs-White and Callum Hudson-Odoi, forms the core of a team aiming to break into Europe again. While speculation swirls, Forest’s stance is clear: £60m or more to even consider negotiations.
Elanga Happy at Forest but Focused on Next Step
The 22-year-old Swede has expressed contentment at Forest, but he’s also pragmatic. Speaking after Sweden’s recent win over Hungary, he acknowledged the constant presence of scouts but remains calm. His professionalism off the pitch mirrors his growth on it, having racked up 11 assists and 6 goals last season.

60M is a lot but would Forest sell him if Newcastle actually bids that money?
