Manchester City are adding a winger that will give absolutely everything for his team | OneFootball

Last week it emerged that Manchester City were moving quickly to sign hard-working winger Allan from Palmeiras. The Brazilian winger thrives in one-on-one situations and is a player who will give his all for the cause and work tirelessly to help his team on both sides of the ball. City have to get to work this week to bolster Enzo Maresca’s squad after they have sold a host of players to make room for players that will give Maresca the squad he desires. It has now been reported that Manchester City and Palmeiras have reached a verbal agreement that will see Allan join the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders.

Manchester City and Palmeiras have reached an agreement that will see Allan sign for City.

Fabrizio Romano has reported that Manchester City and Palmeiras have agreed on a deal that will see Allan sign for City. Furthermore, Romano reports that City will pay €40 million (£34.2 million) plus add-ons to sign Allan. Lastly, Romano adds that the required documents to complete the deal are being exchanged between the two clubs and that Allan will become a City player.

Allan will add qualities out wide that Enzo Maresca wants his wingers to have.

Manchester City have added another winger to their squad in Allan. Savinho’s impending move to Tottenham means that City need another winger, especially one that can play on the right wing. Allan ticks this box. Also, Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira explained why City wanted to sign Allan and what he will bring to Enzo Maresca’s squad.

Speaking after Palmeiras beat Vasco da Gama, in quotes relayed by ESPN Brasil, Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira explained why Manchester City were so eager to sign Allan and what he will bring to City. He praised Allan’s work rate and added that Allan is a complete winger. He explained: “These teams want players like Allan because he does what 90% of the wingers here can’t do: attack and defend along the flank for 90 minutes.”

“The Europeans don’t only buy players who attack. So when one appears who can defend along the flank all the time, play at right-back, play outside in a back three and come inside to combine, everyone wants players like that.”

Manchester City have made their second signing of the week after completing their move to sign Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi. Allan will come in and add another option on the right wing for Enzo Maresca to utilise. The City squad is coming together ahead of what looms as a frantic final week of the transfer window for the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders.
