Newcastle United do not have a sell clause for Elliott Anderson as he closes in on a huge \u00a3130m move to Manchester City.<\/strong><\/p>\n The England international has come a long way since his youth days at Newcastle, where he only made 44 appearances in the Premier League, the majority of them coming from the bench.<\/p>\n According to BBC Sport, Newcastle probably weren’t too worried about letting Anderson go when Nottingham Forest came to sign him, and their focus at the time was on releasing a homegrown player due to PSR concerns.<\/p>\n Download the official CaughtOffSide app to get all the latest news and updates straight to your phone. above apple<\/u><\/span> & Google play<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n This meant the Magpies were in a weak negotiating position regarding Anderson and simply sold him for \u00a335m (fee via Sky Sports), with no sell or buy-back clause included.<\/p>\n According to a report from BBC Sport on Thursday night, Anderson is now on his way to Man City for a British record transfer fee of \u00a3130 million.<\/p>\n However, Fabrizio Romano changed his report and said it was \u00a3116 million, but this may be before future add-ons could increase the fee…<\/p>\n In any case, this is a huge sum, so think about what a 20% or 25% sell-on clause would do for Newcastle.<\/p>\n Want more catchoffside coverage?
