Anderson completed a stunning move to Manchester City, smashing Forest's previous transfer record more than twice over after a superb season that saw him star for England at the World Cup.
David Carmo joined Olympiacos for around £8m, while Stefan Ortega also moved to the Greek side on a free transfer and Omar Richards joined fellow Greek outfit Aris.
Angus Gunn departed for MLS side San Jose Earthquakes and Willy Boly was released after his contract expired, but the club did recoup a fee for Taiwo Awoniyi, who joined Coventry.
Gustavo Sa and Jota Silva both joined Olympiacos on loan - the Greek side are also owned by Evangelos Marinakis. Omari Hutchinson then capped things off, joining AC Milan on loan.
Who is Nottingham Forest's Record Signing?

Forest's record signing is Liam Delap, signed from Chelsea in the 2026 summer transfer window for a fee rising to £50m. The Englishman struggled at Stamford Bridge but should be able to cement himself as the clear number one option up front at the City Ground.
In his last top flight season of regular playing time, at Ipswich, Delap scored 12 times in 37 games.

Who is Nottingham Forest's Record Sale?
Nottingham Forest's record sale is Elliot Anderson, sold to Manchester City in 2026 for £116m, more than doubling the club's previous record.
Anderson had previously been Forest's own record signing when he joined from Newcastle for £35m in 2024, making his eventual sale one of the most dramatic pieces of business in the club's history.
The former Magpies star scored six times and provided 11 assists in 92 appearances in all competitions at the City Ground.
