Man City sign Palmeiras winger Allan for £34m

Manchester City have signed Brazilian winger Allan Elias from Palmeiras for a fee of up to £34.2 million. The 22-year-old, who has inked a five-year contract, joined the club by paying an initial £32 million plus an additional £2.2 million in add-ons. Allan replaces compatriot Savio, who recently moved to Tottenham Hotspur for £75 million.

The right-sided player made nine goals and provided 12 assists in 96 appearances for Palmeiras after progressing through their youth system. Upon signing with Manchester City, Allan expressed his pride in joining a club with a rich history of success, stating that it is the proudest moment of his life. He added that the opportunity to play for Manchester City, one of the most attractive clubs in the world, was an easy decision for him.

Allan's transfer is the latest addition to Manchester City's squad during a busy summer transfer window, where the club has spent over £230 million so far. Other notable additions include Elliot Anderson and Ayyoub Bouaddi. Meanwhile, Manchester City is also in talks with Liverpool over a potential move for Dutch forward Cody Gakpo and Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez.

However, the club has already raised over £286 million through player sales, including the £65 million transfer of 2026 World Cup Golden Ball winner Rodri to Barcelona and the £52 million deal for Tijani Reijnders.
