Elliot Anderson completes a transfer to Manchester City from Nottingham Forest in a deal reported at £116 million. Multiple outlets say City confirm the signing and that Anderson moves from the Premier League club for a fee described as a record or among the largest in the club’s dealings, with reporting also noting it is a significant step in his career.
Several reports add that Anderson quickly addresses Manchester City’s local rivalry. After the move is sealed, he sends messages that include a remark implying City are “kings of Manchester,” which is interpreted in coverage as a response to Manchester United. The same theme appears across outlets referencing his “swipe” or “message” toward United, alongside mentions that he had been linked to both Manchester clubs before choosing City.
One source also provides additional background on the transfer process, saying that at one point Nottingham Forest’s ownership indicated it might walk away from talks, underlining the negotiating pressure around the deal. Overall, the articles converge on the completed move, the reported transfer fee, and Anderson’s public remarks following his Manchester City announcement.
