Manchester City has completed the acquisition of Brazilian winger Allan Elias from Palmeiras, securing the 22-year-old on a five-year contract. The transfer, reportedly valued at £34 million, represents a significant addition to the club’s attacking options as they continue reshaping their squad during the current transfer window.
Elias emerged through Palmeiras’ youth academy system and made his senior debut in January 2025. Since then, the versatile winger has developed into a key contributor for the Brazilian club, accumulating 96 first-team appearances with 21 goal contributions across all competitions. His breakthrough moment came when he scored the decisive goal in a 3-2 victory over Mirassol shortly after his debut.
In remarks following the announcement, Elias expressed his excitement about joining one of world football’s most successful institutions. He emphasized his admiration for Manchester City’s trophy-winning pedigree over the past 15 years and pledged his full commitment to the club’s ambitions. The Brazilian also acknowledged his emotional connection to Palmeiras while explaining that the opportunity presented by Manchester City represented an ideal platform for his continued development as a footballer.
