Man City sign Ederson for world-record £35 million from Benfica

The Premier League club have followed up the shock capture of Bernardo Silva by bringing in the 23-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper

Manchester City have made Benfica goalkeeper Ederson their second signing of the summer after completing a world-record deal.

Ederson will cost City £35 million, making him - in pound sterling - the most expensive goalkeeper in history, surpassing the £33m Juventus paid Parma for Gianluigi Buffon in 2001.

The 23-year-old - who is yet to make his debut for Brazil - has signed a five-year deal at the Etihad Stadium.

Goal reported on Saturday morning that City were confident of concluding negotiations following Benfica's Taca de Portugal final on Sunday , a game they won 2-1.
