Manchester City have reached an agreement to sign England midfielder Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for a fee reported up to £130 million.
The transfer follows weeks of speculation after Anderson’s strong performances for Forest and his involvement with England at the World Cup.
The reported fee positions Anderson as the third‑most expensive footballer in history, behind only Neymar and Kylian Mbappé.
The move marks a significant investment for City after recent seasons in which they fell short in the Premier League title race.
Earlier in the year, City reinforced the squad with signings such as Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi, both of which have integrated into the first‑team setup.
Anderson’s contract terms have not been disclosed, and the transfer remains subject to a standard medical examination.
If the deal is completed, it will exceed the £125 million paid for Alexander Isak last summer.
The transaction underscores City’s ambition to bolster the midfield with a player who combines Premier League experience and international potential.
