Nottingham Forest want £130 million Elliot Anderson deal with Manchester City

Nottingham Forest want £130 million Elliot Anderson deal with Manchester City Nottingham Forest target £130 million total package for Elliot Anderson Manchester City have seen a £106 million plus £15 million in add-ons offer rejected The 23-year-old is expected to become the new most expensive British player in history Manchester City could be forced to set a brand new British transfer record if they are to secure the signing of Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest this summer. Hugo Viana and his recruitment colleagues at the Etihad Stadium have identified Anderson as their clear number one priority transfer target this summer to begin the post- Pep Guardiola era in style. Manchester City exceed £120 million with second bid for Elliot Anderson The Catalan coach brought an end to his 10-year stay at Manchester City following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season, rounding off his legendary stay in England with 20 trophies after a League and FA Cup double. The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager is expected to be replaced by Enzo Maresca , with Manchester City currently locked in negotiations with Chelsea over a compensation package for the Italian. Simultaneously, talks are ongoing with Nottingham Forest over Elliot Anderson , and after seeing an opening bid in the region of £85 million rejected, a follow-up offer worth £106 million plus a further £15 million in add-ons was also turned down on Wednesday. How much do Nottingham Forest want for Anderson? Now, according to MailSport’s Tom Collomosse and Jack Gaughan, Nottingham Forest  are holding out for a total package worth up to £130 million in order to sell star midfielder Elliot Anderson to Manchester City. Evangelos Marinakis and Forest are reportedly looking for an initial payment of £110 million, with up to £20 million in bonuses and while there have been two rejected bids from City, there is said to be confidence that a deal will eventually be done. Where would that put Anderson amongst transfer records? Should Manchester City sanction a total package at Nottingham Forest’s £130 million valuation, Elliot Anderson would set a new British record transfer and potentially become the third-most expensive player of all time. The latter could see Anderson sit behind Neymar  and  Kylian Mbappe , who both joined the current European champions Paris Saint-Germain  for £200 million and £166 million respectively. Aside from that possibility, it is expected that Elliot Anderson will comfortably become the most expensive British player ever, overtaking the £105 million Arsenal paid West Ham United for Declan Rice in 2023.
