Manchester City Sign Palmeiras Winger Allan for £34 Million
· Sports · BBC Sport, Al Jazeera
Manchester City have completed the signing of 22-year-old Brazilian winger Allan Elias from Palmeiras in a deal worth up to £34.2 million. The transfer includes an initial fee of £32 million with an additional £2.2 million in potential add-ons, and the player has signed a five-year contract. Allan is positioned as a direct replacement for Savio, who recently departed for Tottenham Hotspur in a £75 million move. During his time at Palmeiras, Allan recorded nine goals and 12 assists across 96 appearances. The club has been active in the transfer market this summer, spending over £230 million while simultaneously generating more than £286 million through player sales.
Why it matters
The signing provides Manchester City with a new attacking option following the high-profile exit of Savio, while the club continues to balance its squad through significant player turnover. This move reflects the team's ongoing strategy to refresh its roster as it prepares for the upcoming competitive season.
