Manchester City signs Elliot Anderson and Enzo Fernandez in major midfield overhaul

Manchester City has completed significant midfield reinforcements with high-value transfers for Elliot Anderson and Enzo Fernandez. Anderson joined from Nottingham Forest for a fee reported at approximately £116 million (€135 million) in July 2026. He is described as a versatile box-to-box midfielder with high technical and defensive capabilities.

Following Anderson's arrival, the club broke its transfer record again by signing Argentina international Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea for €145 million in September 2026. These acquisitions follow the departure of Rodri to Barcelona and represent a major reshuffle of the club's midfield roster.
