City complete goalkeeper signing
Benfica star joins the Blues in reported ÂŁ35 million deal
City have completed their second signing of the summer after finalising the deal for Benfica goalkeeper Ederson.
Terms were agreed with the player and his club last week but the move was held up while severance of the 23-year-old's third-party ownership agreement was negotiated.
With that complete City were able to announce the Brazilian as Pep Guardiola's next addition to his squad following the arrival of Monaco playmaker Bernardo Silva.
Ederson noted:
“I like everything about Manchester City. I have always had the dream to play in English football and now I'm going to make it true.”
“With Pep Guardiola, City are growing more and more. He is putting in place a young team for the future. Those were important factors in making my decision.
“Manchester City has an amazing squad. I think they managed to have a good season. Next season, we will have to be focused to achieve the goal of winning trophies.''
