Overview
- Manchester City and Nottingham Forest announced an agreement on Thursday that will see England midfielder Elliot Anderson move to the Etihad for a reported £116 million.
- City confirmed Anderson completed a medical in Kansas while with England at the 2026 World Cup and said the remaining paperwork will be finalised when he returns to England.
- Multiple outlets report Anderson has signed a multi-year deal at City, with widespread mentions of a five-year contract and the fee creating a new club record for Manchester City.
- The payment would be Nottingham Forest’s largest-ever sale and Forest plan to reinvest the proceeds to strengthen their midfield squad this summer.
- The transfer is the first major signing of Enzo Maresca’s tenure and could reshape Manchester City’s midfield planning, with Rodri’s future and further recruitment to watch in the coming weeks.
