🚨 €150m: total agreement for the biggest transfer of the summer! | OneFootball

 This is the first bombshell 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 target to strengthen their midfield, the 23-year-old is about to be the subject of a record-breaking deal. After seeing their first two bids rejected (including one worth €123 million), the Manchester club finally forced Forest’s board to give in with a huge offer that could reach the astronomical total of €150 million (£130 million), bonuses included.

According to the highly reliable David Ornstein (The Athletic), confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, the overall agreement between the two clubs is now sealed, definitively beating out Manchester United, who were still hoping to muscle in on the deal.

Currently involved in the World Cup with the Three Lions, the former Newcastle wonderkid, who has become one of the most sought-after midfielders in Europe, still has to finalize his personal terms with the English champions.

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