Allan Elias first interview | Welcome to Manchester City!

Manchester City have completed the signing of Allan Elias, subject to international clearance.

The exciting winger joins from Brazilian side Palmeiras and has signed a five-year contract that will take him through to the summer of 2031.

He follows in the footsteps of Elliot Anderson, Jeremy Monga, Gerónimo Rulli and Ayyoub Bouaddi in linking up with Enzo Maresca’s first team squad.

The 22-year-old plays predominantly as a right winger but can also play in midfield or as a second striker and has even featured at full-back for the Brazilian League leaders.

Allan is the latest star to make the move from Palmeiras to Europe and follows defender Vitor Reis, who made the same switch to the Etihad in January 2025 – as did Gabriel Jesus back in 2017.

With the flair and skill generally associated with Brazilian attackers, he is excited about joining up with Enzo Maresca’s squad.

“This is a surreal moment for me,” Allan said.

“Manchester City, with everything they have won over the past 15 years, are one of the most attractive clubs in the world for players. To be able to sit here today and say I have joined them is the proudest moment of my life.

“I love Palmeiras and always will – but the decision to come to City was an easy one. I want to be the best footballer I can be and the conversations I’ve had with the people at City so far has convinced me there isn’t a better place for me to fulfil my ambitions.

“I want to promise the Manchester City fans I will give absolutely everything to make the most of this opportunity.

“Now the hard work begins. I will give 100% in training and make the best case possible to the manager I should be playing.

“My intention is to help City continue winning trophies. If I can do that, it would be a dream come true.”
