Silva delighted to sign for Man City

Manchester City have made their first signing of the summer by bringing in attacking midfielder Bernardo Silva from AS Monaco.

Silva, 22, has signed for an undisclosed fee and will join on 1 July.

"It feels great," Silva, who will wear the No 20 shirt, told mancity.com. "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. 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."

The Portugal international has enjoyed an impressive season for Monaco, scoring eight times and providing nine assists to help his side win the French Ligue 1 title.

He also played a key role in the club’s UEFA Champions League campaign which ended at the semi-final stage.

It has been a busy start to the transfer window already for Man City, who have released Pablo Zabaleta, Gael Clichy, Jesus Navas, Willy Caballero and Bacary Sagna.
