This signing has been imminent for a while now, so nobody should really be surprised by it. The expected fee is said to be around £12 million, which honestly seems a much more reasonable price than Manchester City will typically pay for their players, so good news for them. United were rumored to be in for him as well, which makes the fact that they missed out on yet another good all-around midfielder, which they still desperately need, all the funnier.

Fernando probably won't start right away, but with exit rumors circling Yaya-Toure and his rifts with the club, you can't rule it out. Regardless, he should play an important role this year at city allowing for more rotation in their midfield.
