Danilo completes City move
London, July 23: Real Madrid right-back Danilo completed his move to Manchester City on Sunday, the Brazilian joining Pep Guardiola’s Premier League giants on a five-year contract.
The 26-year-old will now link up with City on their pre-season tour of the United States after agreeing personal terms and passing his medical.
“There has been strong interest from other clubs, but it has always been my ambition to play for Pep Guardiola,” Danilo told his new club’s official website.
“As soon as I heard of his interest, I knew immediately I wanted to be a City player,” he added.
According to the BBC he moves to Manchester on a £26.5million deal. West Ham sign
Arnautovic West Ham have broken the club transfer record to sign Austria striker Marko Arnautovic from Premier League rivals Stoke City, the club said on Saturday.
The 28-year-old, who has signed a five-year deal with the London club, joins goalkeeper Joe Hart and defender Pablo Zabaleta as part of manager Slaven Bilic’s summer revolution.
The fee, which West Ham confirmed was a club record, was reported by British media to be up to 25 million pounds, exceeding the 20.5 million pounds the club paid Swansea for Andre Ayew in 2016. ‘Coutinho bid a waste of time’ Hong Kong: Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has told Barcelona they are wasting their time trying to sign Brazilian playmaker Philippe Coutinho — no matter the offer.
Klopp has already rejected a $93 million bid for Coutinho. Barca are set to test Liverpool’s resolve with an improved offer but Klopp has told the Catalan giants not to bother. “If I say he is not for selling, he is not for selling,” the German said.
