🚨 €150m: full agreement for the summer’s priciest transfer! | OneFootball

 This is the first thunderclap of the summer transfer window in the Premier League. Manchester City have reached a full agreement with Nottingham Forest for the €150 million transfer of English defensive midfielder Elliot Anderson.

Having become the Citizens’ top priority to strengthen their midfield, the 23-year-old is now set to be the subject of a record deal. After seeing their first two offers rejected (including one worth €123 million), the Manchester club finally managed to make Forest’s board give in with a huge bid that could reach the astronomical sum of €150 million (£130 million), bonuses included.

According to the highly reliable David Ornstein (The Athletic), as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, the overall agreement between the two clubs is now sealed, definitively putting them ahead of Manchester United, who were still hoping to get involved in the deal.

Currently involved in the World Cup with the Three Lions, the former Newcastle wonderkid, who has become one of Europe’s most sought-after midfielders, still has to finalize his personal terms with the Premier League runners-up.

By breaking the record for the biggest transfer in British football history, Manchester City have secured Rodri’s successor in midfield, with the Spaniard’s contract running until 2027.
