Manchester City confirmed their first big signing of the summer transfer window on Friday, announcing Bernardo Silva will join the club on July 1. The club didn't immediately release financial details for the move, but reports have the price tag at anywhere between €50-70 million for the 22-year old.
In Silva, City manager Pep Guardiola adds another dynamic young attacking player to a team that finished third in the Premier League. The Citizens were 15 points shy of tying the champions, Chelsea, so a summer spending spree was always expected. The early departures of Pablo Zabaleta and Jesus Navas also signaled that City were going to act quickly in the transfer market.
