Allan Elias called his move to Manchester City “an unreal moment” after completing a transfer from Palmeiras on a five-year contract.
Allan is truly an exciting player and we believe he will be a great addition to the team.
The 22-year-old Brazilian winger came through Palmeiras’ youth system and made 96 appearances for the São Paulo club’s first team. English media reported that Manchester City agreed to pay about 40 million euros, or 47 million dollars, for him.
City sports director Hugo Viana described Elias as an exciting player and said the club believed he would strengthen the squad. Viana also said Elias had shown early in his career that he was prepared to fight to reach his potential.
During his short career so far, he has shown that he will fight to reach his maximum.
The transfer makes Elias Manchester City’s sixth signing of the summer, following Elliot Anderson, Geronimo Rulli, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Jeremy Monga and Pierce Charles.
This is an unreal moment for me. Manchester City, with everything it has won in the last 15 years, is one of the most attractive clubs in the world for players.
Elias said he loved Palmeiras and would always love the club, but called the decision to join City an easy one. He said Manchester City’s achievements over the past 15 years and its appeal to players made the move one of the proudest moments of his life.
I love Palmeiras and I will always love it, but the decision to come to City was an easy one.
