Overview
- Manchester City and Nottingham Forest confirmed on Thursday that they have reached an agreement to transfer Elliot Anderson, with final paperwork to follow after the player returns to England.
- City said Anderson underwent a medical in Kansas during the World Cup, and the clubs will complete registration and contract formalities once he is back in England.
- Multiple outlets report the fee at about €135 million, a figure that would top previous English-player fees and exceed Manchester City’s record outlay.
- Anderson, 23, was developed at Newcastle, moved to Nottingham in 2024 for about €41.2 million, became an England international in 2025 and has started England’s World Cup matches under Thomas Tuchel.
- If the reported fee holds, Nottingham would receive more than double its previous biggest sale and the deal will feed broader transfer-price inflation in the Premier League market.
