Elliot Anderson’s move to Manchester City is reported as a five-year contract , with an option to extend by one more year, so the deal is effectively set to run until 2031 with a possible 2032 extension.

Deal length

  • Base contract: five years.
  • Extension option: a further 12 months.
  • Reported agreement in principle also points to a contract until 2031.

Transfer status

The fee agreed is reportedly £116 million, making it a club-record signing for City. Reports also say the medical has been completed and the public announcement was briefly delayed because of Anderson’s England duties.

In plain terms

So the short answer is: five years, with a possible sixth year.
