Anderson would undergo a medical in the US before joining Manchester City if the deal is completed. The midfielder has been in high demand due to his impressive performances on the field, and several clubs are eager to sign him.

In addition to Anderson, Manchester City are also interested in signing Newcastle United's Sandro Tonali. If both players are brought in, the club is likely to spend over £200 million on just two players, making it a significant investment for the title-chasing side.

Anderson has already gained international experience, playing for England in a recent match in Dallas, Texas. He played the full 90 minutes in a 4-1 win over Croatia, showcasing his skills on the world stage.
