Overview
- Reports late Thursday, June 25 say Manchester City and Nottingham Forest have reached a transfer agreement for 23‑year‑old Elliot Anderson, with the deal still subject to a medical and formal completion of personal terms.
- Major outlets differ on the price: several sources report a fixed £116 million fee with no add‑ons while others and transfer experts say the package could rise to about £130 million.
- City have scheduled Anderson’s medical to take place in New York during England’s World Cup camp after manager Thomas Tuchel approved players completing moves and checks while on international duty.
- The transfer would be a club‑record outlay for Manchester City and a large profit for Nottingham Forest, which has already begun identifying midfield reinforcements such as Lucas Bergvall and Davide Frattesi.
- The move is part of City’s post‑Guardiola midfield rebuild as they replace departed senior players, and it could influence the summer market by setting a new benchmark for British transfer valuations if the higher figures are confirmed.
