Manchester City complete the signing of midfielder Bernardo Silva from Monaco as their first Summer signing.
The 22 year midfielder signed a five year contract at the Ethihad Stadium on an undisclosed fee assumed to be around £43m. Silva has been Benfica Youth product before he joined Monaco on a loan followed by permanent signing for the French Club.
The 22 years old midfielder has made 12 appearances for Portugal and appeared in 31 Ligue 1 matches.
“It feels great. To be honest I’m now at one of the best teams in the world. To be part of this club and to have this opportunity is great,” Silva told the club’s website.
“I’m very happy to be part of Manchester City’s team and I look forward to trying to do my best to help the team reach their goals.
“If not the best coach in the world, [Guardiola] is one of the best.
“Of course when you have the opportunity of being trained by Guardiola, you don’t say no.
“As we all know, what he did in Barcelona and Bayern Munich was amazing and we expect also here that he will win titles. It’s great to be working with him and to have this opportunity.”
