Manchester City have reached an agreement with Palmeiras to sign Brazilian winger Allan Elias [1].
The acquisition targets a specific void in the squad as the club seeks to add a right-winger to strengthen their roster this summer [5].
Reports on the financial terms of the deal vary slightly between sources. Some reports state the total value is up to £34.2 million [2, 3], while other reports suggest a total of up to £34 million [1]. One report further specifies the structure of the payment as a fixed fee of £32 million plus £2 million in add-ons [1].
Allan is 22 years old [3]. The Brazilian attacker is expected to join the English side before the transfer window closes on Sept. 1 [6].
City's move for the young winger comes as other Premier League clubs remain active in the market. For instance, Newcastle is reportedly edging closer to signing Gonzalez as the deadline approaches [6].
While the agreement with Palmeiras is in place, the club must finalize the remaining paperwork and medical examinations to complete the transfer. The move represents a continued investment in South American talent for the Manchester-based club.
