Elliot Anderson set for record 3130m Man City switch

Manchester City have agreed a deal worth up to a British record 3130 million to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson.

According to the BBC, the 23-year-old England international is expected to undergo a medical before completing his move to the Etihad Stadium.

Forest accepted City's third offer after rejecting two previous bids, with the transfer set to surpass the 3125 million Liverpool paid Newcastle United for Alexander Isak.

Anderson joined Forest from Newcastle in 2024 for 335 million and made 88 appearances, scoring four goals.

He played a key role in helping the club secure a seventh-place Premier League finish in 2024/25 and reach the Europa League semi-finals the following season.

Forest are now expected to reinvest the transfer fee, with Tottenham's Lucas Bergvall and Inter Milan's Davide Frattesi among their midfield targets.
