Newcastle United sees financial loss as Elliot Anderson nears City move

Summary

Newcastle United is poised to miss a financial opportunity as Elliot Anderson approaches a transfer to Manchester City. The former academy player, sold to Nottingham Forest for £35 million to resolve Profit and Sustainability Rules issues in 2024, lacks a sell-on clause that would benefit Newcastle. Now, Football Club Nottingham Forest is expected to receive the full financial reward from an anticipated sale to Man City, which could exceed £120 million. Discussions are ongoing regarding Anderson's contract that could make him one of the most expensive players ever.
