England national team midfielder Elliot Anderson has moved from Nottingham Forest to Manchester City in a deal that shatters the club's transfer records.

Record Signing for Manchester City: Elliot Anderson Transfers for a Huge Sum

On July 2, 2026, one of the most significant transfers in the history of the Premier League was completed. The 23-year-old midfielder, Elliot Anderson, left Nottingham Forest for the English champions, Manchester City. According to a report by Varzesh3, it is the "most expensive purchase in Premier League history".

Regarding the cost of the deal, there is inconsistency in the reports:

• Varzesh3 noted in one publication that the cost stands at approximately 150 million euros, although in a later official publication they emphasized that it is 134 million euros, with a contract until 2031.


• 2026 World Cup | Football 180 reported a slightly lower sum, standing at approximately 130 million euros, with a 5-year contract and an option for an additional year.

The player, who provided 4 goals and 4 assists in 38 matches last season, received a rating of 7.51 out of 10, according to data from Varzesh3. The channel ⚽️ Footballigool clarified that the player will complete the final transfer procedures after he returns from his duties in the World Cup tournament.

The sources reviewed serve as leading Iranian sports channels covering European leagues. They tend to adopt a journalistic line of rapid factual reporting, using statistical data to illustrate the player's quality for the local audience.
