Manchester City sign Fernando from Porto for £12million, according to reports

Manchester City have completed the £12m signing of Brazilian defensive midfielder Fernando from Porto.

A short statement released by the club on Wednesday evening confirmed the 26-year-old, who has been at the Portuguese giants since 2007, has made the switch to Manchester. Fernando Francisco Reges, to give him his full name, had signed a contract extension until 2019 back in February. But City, having tried to sign the player in January, have now been given the green light for a deal worth £12m.

Porto sent a letter to the stock exchange confirming Fernando's transfer to the Premier League champions, along with the fee of €15m (£12m). A photo of the letter has been posted on the Portuguese stock exchange's website.

Fernando is City's second signing of the summer after Bacary Sagna's free transfer from Arsenal.
