Elliot Anderson inches closer to Manchester City with potential £150m transfer
Manchester City are closing in on a deal for Elliot Anderson after Nottingham Forest agreed to terms on a potential £150 million transfer. The 23-year-old English international has made no secret of his desire to join the Skyblues.
Manchester City’s transfer strategy appears unstoppable as they edge closer to securing Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest. The English midfielder, now 23, has 11 senior caps for England and is poised to become the most expensive midfielder ever if the deal goes through. Nottingham Forest, who finished 16th in last season’s Premier League, would benefit significantly from this transfer.
Forest initially rejected Manchester City’s bid of around £140 million, but negotiations have since progressed. The club has set a valuation around £150 million for Anderson, and signs suggest both parties are inching toward an agreement. If the final fee surpasses £140 million, Anderson will not only become the most expensive midfielder in football history but also break the Premier League record for the highest transfer fee for a midfielder, overtaking Liverpool’s £150 million outlay for Alexander Isak.
