Manchester City have made their first signing of what could be a busy summer by landing Monaco playmaker Bernardo Silva. The 22-year-old Portugal international will join City from the Ligue 1 champions on July 1.
Press Association Sport understands City will pay &pound;43million for the midfielder, who had also been linked with a move to City's neighbours Manchester United this summer.
Silva's arrival comes as manager Pep Guardiola overhauls a squad which finished a disappointing third in the Premier League in his first season in charge.
On Thursday City announced the departures of goalkeeper Willy Caballero, full-backs Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna and winger Jesus Navas, while long-serving defender Pablo Zabaleta has signed for West Ham.
"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 his new club's official 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.
