Manchester City have confirmed the signing of 22 year old Brazilian winger Allan Elias from Palmeiras on a five year contract. Allan is the sixth arrival for the English club during the current summer transfer window. He joins the squad following 96 first team appearances for the Sao Paulo club, where he progressed through the youth system.
Financial details of the transfer vary across reports. One source cites a payment of approximately 40 million euros, while another reports a figure of about 47 million dollars. A third report provides a more detailed breakdown, stating the deal is worth up to 34.2 million pounds, consisting of an initial 32 million pounds plus 2.2 million pounds in add ons.
City Director of Football Hugo Viana described Allan as an exciting player and a big addition to the squad. Allan stated that joining the club is the proudest moment of his life and that the decision to leave Palmeiras was an easy one. He expressed a desire to follow the success of former City players such as Gabriel Jesus, Ederson, and Fernandinho.
Other reports provide broader context regarding the club's transfer activity. This includes the arrival of Elliot Anderson, Geronimo Rulli, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Jeremy Monga, and Pierce Charles. Additionally, one report notes that Allan serves as a direct replacement for Savio, who moved to Tottenham Hotspur for 75 million pounds.
