Newcastle United will activate Manchester United’s transfer clause this summer, provided that one condition is met. Anthony Elanga, a winger for Nottingham Forest,
has been a high priority for Newcastle United during the summer transfer window. The 23-year-old was the subject of an inquiry from the Magpies at the beginning of June. Forest’s resolve to sell the winger will be put to the test in the upcoming weeks, despite their reluctance to do so. Newcastle’s initial £45 million bid was denied by Forest, according to The Athletic. Last summer,
Newcastle made an attempt to acquire the Swedish international, but Forest rejected their offer. However, their curiosity persists, and the prospect of playing alongside his fellow countryman Alexander Isak and competing in the Champions League will undoubtedly captivate the former Manchester United player.
Timothy Weah, a right winger from Juventus, is on the brink of signing with Forest. This development will only serve to exacerbate concerns regarding Elanga’s destiny at the City Ground. However, it is evident that Newcastle will incur significant expenses in pursuit of their inaugural significant summer acquisition.

Manchester United have had a busy summer thus far, as they have finalised a £62.5million agreement to acquire Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Newcastle has also expressed interest in Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo, whom the Red Devils are actively pursuing.
However, Ruben Amorim’s team will also be following Elanga’s situation with some curiosity, as they have the potential to earn a small fortune if the winger is sold. Manchester Evening News reports that Manchester United has a sell-on clause in Elanga’s contract with Forest that could provide them with millions.
Man United’s sell-on pertains to a portion of the profit that Forest generates from the initial £15 million they purchased Elanga for in 2023. Therefore, the Red Devils may be entitled to a maximum of £9 million, contingent upon the terms of the accord, if Newcastle and Forest reach an agreement to purchase the winger for £60 million.
