Manchester City have completed the signing of Allan Elias from Palmeiras, the club have confirmed.
The Brazilian winger will move to the Etihad Stadium in a deal worth an initial £32 million ($43m) with another £2m in potential add-ons, subject to international clearances. The 22-year-old has signed a five-year deal and becomes City’s sixth summer signing.
“This is a surreal moment for me. Manchester City, with everything they have won over the past 15 years, are one of the most attractive clubs in the world for players,” Allan said.
“To be able to sit here today and say I have joined them is the proudest moment of my life.

“I want to promise the Manchester City fans I will give absolutely everything to make the most of this opportunity.”
Allan might not be the last new arrival before Tuesday’s transfer deadline.
