Man City agree club-record deal for Anderson, BBC reports
City have agreed a fee that could reach £130 million, with Anderson set for a medical after two rejected bids, sources said.
- Manchester City have reached an agreement with Nottingham Forest to sign 23-year-old England international Elliot Anderson for a guaranteed club-record fixed fee of £116 million.
- The blockbuster transfer is set to bypass the £100 million paid for Jack Grealish in 2021 as City's most expensive signing, and could scale up to a British-record £130 million depending on performance-related add-ons.
- Newly appointed Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca and sporting director Hugo Viana prioritized the versatile midfielder as their number one summer target to rejuvenate the engine room following the departure of veteran midfielder Bernardo Silva.
- Anderson established himself as one of Europe's top rising talents during the 2025–26 season, where he topped the Premier League statistical charts by registering 3,300 touches, 306 possessions won, and 297 duels won.
- The midfielder is currently away on international duty with Thomas Tuchel's England squad at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he will undergo his official medical examinations in New York ahead of finalizing personal terms.
