Elliot Anderson

The most definitive valuation is the completed transfer of Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest to Manchester City in July 2026 for a reported €135 million (£116 million). In the month leading up to the transfer, reports cited various figures, including potential packages rising to €150 million (£130 million) and rejected bids from Man City around €141 million (£121 million). Manchester United was reportedly interested but valued the player much lower, around €94 million (£80 million), and considered a £120 million fee too high. Throughout early 2026, Nottingham Forest's asking price was consistently reported to be in excess of £100 million (~€117 million), with some reports suggesting demands as high as £125 million (~€146 million). For context, he had transferred from Newcastle to Nottingham Forest in July 2024 for €41.2 million.

Our valuation is driven by the confirmed July 2026 transfer of Elliot Anderson to Manchester City. The fee was consistently reported and recorded as €135 million (£116 million), establishing a clear market price. This figure was the culmination of a bidding process where Manchester United was also interested but unwilling to meet the high valuation, and Nottingham Forest successfully negotiated a record fee, reflecting the player's significant development since his €41.2 million move two years prior.
