Man City's New Signing: "This is one of the most attractive teams in the world"

Manchester City today announced the signing of Brazilian winger Allan Elias. The Etihad club will pay Palmeiras approximately 40 million euros for the player, who expressed his excitement about joining the Citizens.

“This is a surreal moment for me. Manchester City, with everything they've won over the last 15 years, is one of the most attractive clubs in the world for any player. To be able to sit here today and say I've joined this team is probably the proudest moment of my life. I love Palmeiras and always will, but the decision to come to City was an easy one. I want to be the best footballer I can be, and the conversations I've had with the people at City so far have convinced me there's no better place for me to achieve my ambitions,” Allan told the club's website.

The 22-year-old winger was brought in as a replacement for Savio (Savinho), who was sold to Tottenham for 85 million euros.
