Man City land Brazilian winger Allan Elias in £34m deal to replace Savio

Manchester City have completed the signing of 22-year-old Brazilian winger Allan Elias from Palmeiras on a five-year contract, in a deal reported to be up to £34.2 million (about £32m upfront plus £2.2m in add-ons). He arrives as a direct replacement for Savio, who left for Tottenham, and will compete for wing duties alongside City’s established options. Allan described the move as surreal and said joining City is the proudest moment of his life, with City officials calling him an exciting team player who fits their ambitions. He made 96 appearances for Palmeiras, scoring nine goals with 12 assists, and has yet to win a Brazil cap. The transfer underscores City’s busy summer window as they add a sixth signing while pursuing further targets, amid a flurry of activity and high reported spend. Minor discrepancies exist across outlets regarding exact fee breakdowns, but all confirm the deal and the five-year contract.
