Manchester City has reportedly reached an agreement with Nottingham Forest to sign England international Elliot Anderson for a staggering £116 million, according to journalists Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein. This transfer fee, which is fixed and excludes any add-ons, will set a new record as the highest ever paid for a British footballer.
The deal also marks a new club record for City, surpassing the £100 million the Citizens paid Aston Villa for Jack Grealish in 2021.
The 23-year-old Anderson has been granted permission to undergo a medical examination in New York on Friday, with the finalization of the transfer contingent on agreeing to personal terms. The player is currently with the England national team at the World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. On Saturday, the Three Lions are scheduled to play at MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey.
Previously, Nottingham Forest had hoped to secure a fixed fee exceeding the British record of £125 million, which Liverpool paid Newcastle for Alexander Isak last summer.
